When Emanuel Casablanca picks up a guitar, it doesn’t just sing—it testifies. A torchbearer for 21st-century blues and blues-rock, Casablanca straddles grit and grace like few others in the genre today. 

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Emanuel grew up immersed in the rhythmic pulse of the city and the echoes of Southern blues. His influences—ranging from Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix, to Gary Clark Jr. and Dan Auerbach—converge in a sound that’s raw, rhythmic, and righteously unpolished. Casablanca first turned heads with his breakout LP, Fingers and Knives (2018), but it was his sophomore effort, Strung Out on Thrills (2020), that signaled the arrival of a major voice in modern blues.

His third album, Blood on My Hands (2022), catapulted him to new heights. Hailed by critics for its emotional depth and sonic swagger, the record garnered two Independent Blues Award nominations, including Best Emerging Artist Album and Best Modern Blues Performance. Casablanca's songwriting—marked by vivid, unfiltered storytelling—showed an artist unwilling to flinch, both musically and lyrically.

He’s shared stages and studio space with some of the heaviest hitters in the business: Eric Gales, whose fiery fretwork pushed Casablanca to new improvisational heights; Doug Wimbish, the iconic bassist from Living Colour, with whom he’s forged a gritty musical brotherhood; and Joe Louis Walker, a modern blues master who called Casablanca “the future of this music—rough, real, and unrelenting.” He’s also performed alongside artists like Corey Glover, James Samuel III, and Darcy Malone, continuing to expand his musical reach.

Beyond the accolades and high-profile collaborations, Emanuel Casablanca’s power lies in his honesty. There’s blood in the strings, truth in the lyrics, and nothing safe about his sound. Whether he’s tearing through a fuzz-drenched solo or whispering a lyric that cuts like a knife, Casablanca never phones it in. He’s a student of the blues—but also its unruly, defiant son.

P.J. Pacifico is an American singer/songwriter and recording artist with multiple releases on Viper Records.  After touring the US & Europe for a number of years as a solo artist, P.J. settled into the songwriting world in 2015 after signing Razor & Tie Music Publishing for licensing.  His music has been heard on ABC, FOX, HBO, Showtime, Netflix and more.  Through songwriting sessions in LA and Nashville, P.J.’s new project, Signals in Smoke, was born.  The band’s first single, ‘Coming Up For Air’, debuted on Grey’s Anatomy and sent the song to #1 on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart and was featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist.  Most recently, P.J. just released his new solo album, ‘What I Missed In The Mirror’.
