Thanks to those who came out last week to celebrate the last night of the season on the patio! I promised I would remind you about this week!
The Dexter Payne Quartet reappears at St Julien Hotel Tuesday, Oct 6, 6:30-9:30pm (Walnut&9th, Bldr) playing Brazilian choro, samba, baiao –
Everything you need to feel the warmth of the southern hemisphere as the weather outside celebrates our turn towards fall. Come samba by the fireplace! And pretend for a moment that we get to hear these sounds every week.
Imagine that - if we will it, it can be so!
Check this out - in addition to their amazing recreation of Brazilian choro (traditional jazz) from the early to mid 20th century, the quartet is mining the rich trove of northeast Brazil - "musica nordestina" to bring you baiao and other rhythms for dancing "foro". Say you cant samba? No worries - Foro translates literally to "for all". Consider it Cajun music from Brazil - and get out and shake a leg! Every time you hear this group we will be adding more infectious, irresistible musica nordestina !
Dexter also appears with Salem on FRI Oct 9, 9:30, @ Alma's Only Bistro in Alma, CO
Meanwhile there is a remarkable event taking place for the the second and final week in Denver Oct 7-10 at Crossroads Theater. The amazing singer Rene Marie is staging her first theatrical endeavour, the one-woman show "Slut Energy". I mention this not just because she is my friend, not just because I have had the honor of performing with her, but because Rene is one of the most evocative performers alive, let alone singers. She communicates with her audience at a level that is very rare. I will be there – and I encourage you to treat yourself to an evening that will be both memorable and moving. And probably inspiring!
See you soon,
Dexter
