This fall has been my busiest season thus far since moving back to Atlanta!
Projeto Brasileiro is playing around town with our new original music: its a suite in 4 parts entitled “Sem Fronteiras: Without Borders”. We premiered the new work at Buteco recently, and are performing it again at Commune ATL in November, before going into the studio to record our debut album! Next year’s album release plans are already in the works, with Red Light Cafe confirmed for March 2025, and more venues to come soon.
You can read about the band, the new music, and my story, in a recent interview I did with Voyage ATL, in their “Atlanta’s most Inspiring Stories” column. I also collaborated with Aue, a Brazillian clothing brand, for that article, and I plan to incorporate other Brazillian artists and musicians for “Sem Fronteiras”, as a way of highlighting how music can bring us together, a central theme of the album.
I’m also happy to be on the regular weekly rotation at Northside Tavern, a local legendary blues and rock bar in Atlanta. I’m playing with Nathalie Rose every Tuesday night, and it has been a blast being a part of that group. We go late, from 10pm to 2am!
Things are in full swing with “Gimme Springsteen”, a pro tribute band I joined last year that covers all the hits and deep cuts from The Boss: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. We’re playing theatres and venues all around GA and the Southern US: spots like the Bowl at Sugar Hill, Red Clay Theatre, Tybee Post Theatre, Deland Theatre, and many others. I’m loving rocking out with these guys and playing to packed houses of screaming Bruce fans!
...and most weekends you can find me crossing state lines with “Big Bling and the Funk Machine”, a corporate wedding band. We’re doing 30 to 40 gigs this year all across the southeast, including Charleston SC, Savannah GA, Nashville TN, Boca Raton FL, and even Little Rock AR! It’s a blast traveling around with this band and playing everything from classic jazz to motown, funk, pop, hip hop, and more!
In addition to all these exciting performances, I’m also teaching around 30 students this year with Ztunes, a private lesson studio based in Virginia Highlands ATL. So safe to say, I am incredibly busy with music this year, and I absolutely love it! Stay tuned here and on my social media for more updates about new music happenings!
