Host

Join us for an evening of Latin Classical Psychedelic—outdoors in the garden.

John W. Warren and Bruno Lucini perform a unique blend of music from Brazil and Latin America, original compositions, and instrumental arrangements of 60s classics and contemporary music, in a sensational style that transcends boundaries of classical, Brazilian, Latin, folk, jazz, electronica, and psychedelia.

The duo will debut several pieces, including "Choro da Saudade" by Agustín Barrios Mangoré, "Samba em Preludio" by Baden Powell, an Isley Brothers-influenced arrangement of Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze," and debuts of two original compositions.

Doors open at 6:30pm and music will start at 7:30pm.

A suggested donation of $20 (cash or Venmo) can be paid at the event and would be greatly appreciated by the musicians!

Feel free to bring something to imbibe, and perhaps a lawn chair or blanket. I'll have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, plus light fare.

Off-street parking is limited so you may wish to consider taking Uber if you are nearby.

Please enter the backyard through the side gate next to the garage.
