Hope to see ya there!

Nós Novo - Irish music on the vibes on St Patrick's Day this Sunday in NYC

Time

Hi Workshoppers:

If you're looking to celebrate both St Patrick's Day and the vibraphone this Sunday, I have the spot for you. My band, Nós Novo, will be playing a concert of mainly Irish folk songs and tunes at a house concert at Dupuy's Landing in Chelsea from 3-5pm. All details are below. Would love to see you there.

The Band will be:

JS - vibes, percussion, some singing

Good Bye - Vibes Sax Duo - Tarik

i had a very challenging gig yesterday with a great sax player.i was very scared about this gig since i had to learn 12 originals (in 2 weeks with only 3 rehearsels) written by rüdiger scheipner who plays bass clarinet on this tune.it´s really hard to be responsible for all the comping parts and be the only harmony instrument. all in all the evening went very well and i learned a lot from it. thankfully the sax player was very pleased with my performance and we want to record some of the tunes in the next weeks and keep on playing in that formation.
