Hey everyone! My new band, led by Juliana Graffagna (former director & performer with Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble will have our San Francisco debut on Saturday! Come down to BlueSix (Joe Lewis's new acoustic venue) and balk out to some lush, slammin, trancey Albanian, Greek, Rom & Amerikanski music!
Plus: it's free! As part of the Mission Arts & Performance Project, aka MAPP. Which means we'll likely have some unexpected guests (and, well, honestly, there are a couple I'm expecting, myself, but you won't expect em cos I'm not telling!).
Featuring:
- Juliana Graffagna, vocals and percussion (former vocalist & music director of Kitka)
- Aya Davidson, violin and vocals (also of Kaladrios)
- Tom Farris, guitar and laouto
- Peter Jaques, clarinet and vocals (also of Brass Menazeri)
- Bill Lanphier, bass (also of Trio Mopmu, the Toids)
- Rumen Sali Shopov, percussion, tambura, bouzouki and vocals (renowned Bulgarian concertmaster)
