Arturo en el Barco

archipelago

When I started “Arturo en el Barco” five years ago, I originally thought of the project as a live chamber ensemble even though it took the form of a solo endeavor.  But now it’s finally happening! We are finally an ensemble. I’m very happy to announce the debut of the new AEEB as part of the great Archipelago Series from New Amsterdam Records. We’ll be playing on Friday Nov. 20th at the lovely Galapagos Arts Space premiering a set of six new songs under the title “Let the Sun Shine on Me and Make Me Feel Special”.  Matt Marks (french horn), Andie Springer (violin), Insia Malik (violin), Evelyn Farny (cello), Beth Meyers (viola, banjo) and José Olivares (electronics) will join me in this new adventure!

Missy Mazzoli’s awesome Victoire will also be playing that night previewing  some new material from their upcoming NewAm album!
