BAND MEMBERS:
Paolo Giovanni Nutini

HOMETOWN:
Paisley, Scotland

GENRE:
Rock

MOST RECENT ALBUM:
These Streets

FUN FACTS:
Nutini, who has no formal musical training, was expecting to follow his father into the family fish and chip shop business. Instead, he left school to work as a roadie for Scottish pop rock group Speedway and the rest is history.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Already a platinum-selling artist in the U.K., Nutini has showed no signs of an inflated ego at recent gigs as he’s come across as more of a bashful youngster. However, Paolo is a big Celtic FC supporter and was criticized by fans for coming on stage drunk after celebrating Celtic’s title win in April 2007. It maybe a bit ironic, then, that he has closed some sets with a spot-on rendition of Amy Winehouse’s Sixties-pop homage to alcoholism, “Rehab.”

MP3s:
“New Shoes”
“These Streets”
