Federico Verteramo
Band
BACKGROUND
Born in Buenos Aires in 1991 and now based in France since 2023, Federico Verteramo is a Blues guitarist, singer and songwriter with over a decade of international touring and recording experience. His style blends electric Blues, groove and strong melodic phrasing, rooted in the Chicago Blues tradition.
He began his professional career at age 17 on the Argentine blues scene, first joining local bands before touring with Chicago blues legends such as Tail Dragger, Bob Stroger and Dave Riley. Alongside this, he took part in numerous projects in Argentina and Europe, recording on nearly twenty albums as a sideman.
In 2014, he formed his own band and stepped into the role of singer-guitarist. Since then, he has released three albums, several singles, and performed in more than 15 countries across Europe and the Americas.
TODAY
His latest studio album, In My Own Time (2024), was recorded in Toulouse and features original material with contributions from musicians on both sides of the Atlantic, including European artists Victor Puertas and Nico Duportal, along with collaborators from the Argentine blues scene.
Today, the Federico Verteramo Band appears as a quartet; guitar, piano, bass and drums. With the expressive pianist Anita Fabiani, the band incorporates elements of boogie-woogie and rhythm & blues into its musical identity.
On stage, the group delivers a sincere and generous energy, fueled by Blues, boogie-woogie and rhythm & blues.

“ Federico Verteramo returned last night and it was as usual a good slap in the face of Chicago blues, as this artist puts at the service of this unique style not only his clear voice, a guitar playing and harmonies rarely seen here but also an impeccable orchestral direction with a perfectly flexible rhythm section and finally a new arrival, Anita Fabiani, queen of the organ and the boogie piano. We were dancing, of course. ”

“ They come from Argentina, and are a nice surprise of this festival. This quartet tours Europe, and their register revolves around Chicago blues and boogie, to the delight of spectators. After several groups apart from traditional blues, it feels good to find its fundamentals. Federico is a good singer, and a guitarist full of feeling, and when he leaves the field open to Anita, her dexterity on the ivory keys leaves us speechless. ”
