Band Members

The members of Vittorio and the Bridges

Vittorio Raimondi

Lead singer, songwriter, guitar

I am Italian, moved to Minneapolis in 2008 and became also American citizen after living 2 years in Bergen (Norway) and 8 years in London (UK).

Imagine Bruce Springsteen and the Beatles meeting up with U2 and Fleming Lips, add Italian influences such as Vasco Rossi and Lucio Dalla, and you get the original mediterranean infused pop style from Vittorio and the Bridges, bridging generations, cultures and geographies.
