Happy new year. I hope you can join me again at The Urban Winery, 2315 Stewart Avenue, in Silver Spring, Md., Thursday, January 16, 7 to 9 p.m., where I’ll be playing with Matvei Sigalov, on guitar and violin, and Percy White on bass. We’ll be offering a mixture of jazz, folk, blues and maybe a little country music.
For a sense of what you might hear, click here to hear my recently released album, “In Case You Missed It.”
There will be a $10 food or drink minimum, You can purchase tickets in advance via this link.
Matvei is one of the premier improvising violinists and in-demand guitar players. In recent years he also began building a resume as a producer/arranger and performs a wide range of musical genres — from jazz and fusion to pop and indie. Matvei has performed at the Kennedy Center, Blues Alley, Bohemian Caverns, Iridium, Bar 55 (NYC) and countless other venues in the United States and abroad. He also contributed to several tracks on my album.
As the founder and leader of the Capital Jazz Experience, a collective of some of the Washington-area’s most talented local musicians, Percy has extensive experience playing nearly every musical genre, including jazz, blues, alternative rock, funk, classical and bluegrass. He has played with nationally known artists and local acts and is an alumnus of the 257th Army National Guard Band. In other words, he’s really good. Military service bands consistently employ some of the best musicians around.
If you haven’t been there, The Urban Winery is a cozy, tucked-away place that serves more than 30 wines produced on-site as well as a selection of other hand-crafted wines, beers, and spirits produced in the state of Maryland. Their international wine selection represents other small producers from around the globe and features a wide variety of grape expressions for those who truly wish to explore the whole wide world of wine. And, yes, they do have a a light and tasty food menu to go along with your beverages.
Hope to see you there.
Jeff
