Save the date: Eliane Amherd+Luiz Simas Fri Jan 13 at Somethin' Jazz

Dear friends,

A new year, a new show concept: guitarist/singer/composer Eliane Amherd and myself (Luiz Simas) will share the stage at Somethin' Jazz on Friday Jan 13th (don't walk under a ladder on your way to the club!!!).

Eliane and I have played together very often. We gave many concerts together as a duo, and I was also the keyboard player and back-up singer in Eliane's band on her CD-release tour, doing shows all over her native Switzerland last year.

This is the first time, though, that we're going to play both my material and hers in the same show as a quartet. As to the other band members, we couldn't ask for more: Willard Dyson on drums and Gustavo Amarante on bass.

The show's repertoire will be an exhilarating blend of blues, funk, Brazilian and jazz, mostly original compositions by Eliane and by myself. The band is very acquainted with Eliane's material, since we played it on her tour. Bass player Gustavo also knows my own repertoire very well. This will be the first time I play my tunes with Willard on drums and Eliane on guitar and vocals. It'll be great, I can't wait!

Hope to see you there!

Luiz Simas
