Angelo Santelli, nicknamed "Skypup" by Michael Allman, is a blues guitarist from Kalamazoo, Michigan. He combines the revolutionary slide guitar styles of Duane Allman and Derek Trucks into his own sound.
Santelli is the guitarist for Michael Allman, Gregg Allman's eldest son. Angelo has played shows with Berry Oakley Jr. and shared the stage with Jack Pearson, Lee Roy Parnell, Reese Wynans, Devon Allman and Duane Betts and opened for other notable acts like the Edgar Winter Group, Tinsley Ellis, Lonnie Baker Brooks, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk and Devon Allman's Honeytribe.
Since 2006 Santelli has led his own band, Marble Garden, a jam-blues-rock group who in 2009 represented Kalamazoo at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis Tennessee. Angelo is the son of Tennessee singer-songwriter Tommy Santelli.
