A musical celebration of Christmas on the shortest day of the year; featuring the deep carols, traditional melodies, neglected verses and prose performed by Cords & Strings with a second act of excerpts and extrapolations from A Charlie Brown Christmas performed by Kodama Trio.

Cords & Strings' award-winning actor/singer Lisa Keating and virtuoso guitarist Jesse Vernier dig deep into the sounds of the season in this elegant offering recently seen at After Hours at Vivo Contemporary on Canyon Road. Kodama Trio (Jeremy Bleich bass, Milton Villarrubia III drums, Robert Muller piano) comes to us with a fresh and invigorating interpretation of A Charlie Brown Christmas after winning TWO 2016 New Mexico Music Awards (Best Jazz song, Best Jazz CD).

This evening of world-class performances comes to Eldorado at Santa Fe's Performance Space. Tickets are $20. Come early and grab dinner at La Plancha across the way or Arable across the street. Stay late and raise a glass at SFBC Eldorado Taphouse.

Tickets available through Eventbrite here.

Gratitude Concert, Friday November 11th

By
I'll be on Canyon Road with Russell Scanlon on guitar at ViVO Contemporary's Gratitude Concert. The event, hosted by the gallery as a thank you to the community is free and open to the public. We're very much looking forward to playing together in duo format tomorrow. Our set lists promise depth and variety with a little Portuguese and French mixed into the evening's repertoire. Stop by and say hello. Downbeat is at 5:30 pm. We're in the Six to Hit on the SFGA website this week, too!

Zozobra

By
So, I've been a little busy. First the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe had 32 of these 4' Zozobras designed and molded out of fiberglass. Then I helped place them with 32 artists in 32 locations around town. It has been a blast to be a part of this epic augmentation of the annual celebration of the Burning of Zozobra! This year marks the 100th anniversary of this Santa Fe tradition which began as the highlight of a party with Los Cinco Pintores, in Will Schuster's backyard. Zozobra was "only" 6' tall at that original spectacle. Here we are 100 years later and 32 of these fine art finished little buggers are preparing to congregate at the Convention Center, with the Zozobra effigy being burned on August 30th at Fort Marcy Park. The Zozobra marionette has grown to some 50' tall and the chanting, moans, groans, and fireworks can be seen for miles! Pictured right, is the first piece finished. It was transformed by Santa Fe artist (and former professional rodeo clown)...
