The project "The Claw" comes into being in September 2005 between Ferrara and Bologna, from an idea by Stefano Parma (electric guitar) and from the meeting between the core group made by Stefano Parma, Alessandro Belletti (bass), Maurizio Lettera (drums) with Luca Lelli (lead vocals) and Giovanni Zordan (acoustic guitar and backing vocals).

In less than two years, The Claw with their blend of New Country & Texas Music have realized three important opening shows for CORY MORROW, TODD FRITSCH and ROGER CREAGER, they performed in Italy, Switzerland and Germany and they also played at the Four Corners, which is rated as one of the most prestigious European honky-tonk pubs.
Their passion for Country & Texas Music and their desire to spread their music in Italy and around Europe can be captured every time The Claw steps on stage.
After one of the above mentioned opening shows, the recent collaboration with SCOTT SHIPLEY started. He is an award winning multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter and with whom they perform in special occasions and events.

The band's capability of moving with great ease from Jerry Redd to Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, through the most integralist Texas Music by Roger Creager, Cory Morrow (with whom they even shared the bandstand), Dub Miller and Jack Ingram has also aroused the interest of the American magazine "Texas Music Times". The magazine article in November 2006 issue entitled "The Claw italian band playin' Texas Music" was dedicated to them.
