BARBARA RUBIN AND ELISA MONTALDO

Unless you follow the Italian progressive rock scene or are native to Italy, there's every chance you won’t have heard of the multi talented songstress and vocalist Barbara Rubin. However her name is already familiar to many in the field of progressive rock across parts of Europe and the UK, but I only became aware of Barbara when FabricationsHQ received a review copy of the singer’s debut album Under the Ice as well as a copy of the recordings done by the band project she is involved in. Barbara Rubin is a musician, singer, violinist and song-writer. She attended and completed musical studies at Conservatoire (Piacenza-Italy) graduating in violin under the direction of Master F.Biondi (Europa Galante) In parallel with classical studies she started to cultivate love for rock, beginning to write songs very young, mixing classical and modern sounds.

ELISA MONTALDO is a pianist, singer, composer, songwriter, producer, polystrumentist, piano bar player. She performs different musical productions in progressive rock/rock/folk/soundtrack music, founder and keyboardist of the Italian progressive rock band Il Tempio delle Clessidre and made music collaborations with Vly, Ianva, Logos, Mattias Olsson, Max Manfredi, Celeste, Giacomo Castellano and more.
