Marco Sfogli (born April 4, 1980) is an Italian heavy metal and rock guitarist. He has played guitar with James LaBrie, PFM and Icefish. Born in 1980, Sfogli’s first attempt with music came in 1984 when he played with his parents (both musicians) in Schwetzingen, Germany, during an encore. In 1989, he received his first Washburn electric guitar as a gift. He started to play along with his heroes (Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Europe). In 1992, he left the guitar to study the drums: “Being a drummer first and a guitarist second helped me a lot in terms of creativity and rhythmic knowledge.” In 1996, he left the drums because of his growing interest in guitar, especially after intense listening to Images and Words by Dream Theater. In 2005, Sfogli flew to Canada to record James LaBrie’s third solo progressive metal release, Elements of Persuasion. Sfogli released his first solo record, There’s Hope, in February 2008 through Lion Music. In 2010, he also worked on the fourth James LaBrie record, Static Impulse, as guitar player, co‑writer and engineer. He released his second solo album in 2012, titled reMarcoble and edited by JTC Records. In 2013, he rejoined the James LaBrie band for the third time for the recording of the album Impermanent Resonance. In March 2015, he was announced as the new guitar player for the Italian progressive band PFM, replacing former member Franco Mussida. In 2015, he played in the band Icefish with Virgil Donati (drums), Alex Argento (keyboards) and Andrea Casali (bass and vocals). Icefish released their debut album Human Hardware in 2017.
