Don Leone is a raw and gritty blues project created by Donato Cherchi and Matteo Leone. Formed in 2016 in the Sulcis region of Sardinia, the duo quickly began touring extensively across the island and beyond. They released their debut EP, Welcome to South West, through Talk About Records, with all physical copies selling out within just a few days.
In 2017, they won the Italian Blues Challenge and, at the beginning of the following year, performed in Memphis at the International Blues Challenge. Their journey then took them through the roads of Mississippi and Louisiana, sharing their music and becoming the protagonists of The Search, a documentary film directed by Diego Pani and screened in cinemas across several countries.
The duo went on to perform at the European Blues Challenge finals in Hell, Norway, and at Budapest's Sziget Festival, one of the highlights of a touring schedule that also included festivals such as Narcao Blues, Dal Mississippi al Po Blues Festival, Campania Blues Festival, Mojo Station Blues Festival and Blues Rules (Switzerland).
Over the years, they have shared the stage with renowned artists including Cedric Burnside, Watermelon Slim and Vieux Farka Touré, among many others.
Their paths diverged for several years before crossing again in early 2025. Reunited, they returned to recording new music and performing live with a more mature sound, bringing their handcrafted electric blues from southern Sardinia wherever audiences are ready to listen.
