After the crowd & critics acclaimed “Blues for the Working Class”, which got Daniele Tenca and his band into International Blues Challenge 2011 in Memphis (USA) as the only Italian Band, and over 90 gigs in Italy from January 2010 to August 2012 (sharing the same stages with Ana Popovic, Otis Taylor, Johnny Rogers, Robben Ford, Andy J. Forest among others), well represented on cd with “Live for the Working Class”, the new Album, WAKE UP NATION, was released on January, 12th, 2013.

Riverfolk is an album with it’s roots springing from the Irish town of Athy, but whose branches touch every corner of the world. From the opening track ‘Down at Joe’s’ to the final track ‘Concerning Lily Moreau’ there is a strong presence on this album of the hauntingly sad character of Lily Moreau, who met an untimely end in ‘Dark Water’. Mixed with a collection of blues and soulful ballads, this new album will certainly appeal to anyone who has a feeling for the blues and an appetite for some fresh melodies and lyrics from a truly talented Irish songwriter.
