Sep 11 - OHM at Alvas Showroom

Artists:
Richard Smith - Guitar
Julie Adams - Cello

Show info:
Richard Smith
There seems to be no limit to Richard's ability to quickly master whatever guitar style captures his fancy. The complex styles of many guitar greats including Django Reinhardt, Les Paul, and Lenny Breau have proved to be no impediment to his voracious musical appetite. Richard has toured around the world, surprising audiences everywhere with his genius, showcasing a repertoire spanning an incredible range of musical styles from country, bluegrass, mainstream jazz, modern pop and rock, to classical guitar. Richard Smith is nothing less than a phenomenon. But, words alone are inadequate to describe his guitar wizardry. You may be a doubting Thomas until you've witnessed him for yourself. But, once you have, you'll be a fan for life!

Julie Adams
Julie Adams is one of the most diverse cellists on the music scene today. Julie has won many competitions and played in a wide variety of musical settings and she has also branched into folk music, playing with well-known fingerstyle guitarist, Muriel Anderson. Julie and Muriel toured extensively throughout the US and released a CD titled "Theme for Two Friends". Julie is also a Nashville session player and has been featured on a wide range of projects from top ten albums to major film scores. She was most recently featured on a track with country legend Suzy Bogguss on "Beautiful Dreamer", which won the 2005 Grammy for Folk Album of the Year.

Sep 11 - Richie Cole Alto Madness at Alvas Showroom

Artists:
Richard Smith - Guitar
Julie Adams - Cello

Show info:
The Alto Madness Orchestra was developed by Richie in the early 90's and its continuing popularity is proof of its uniqueness. "The idea of the Orchestra is the concept and sound of an eighteen-piece big band using only seven instruments, four of which are horns," explained Richie with pride. "Not only does this have the big band ensemble sound, it also allows us plenty of room for improvisation as if we were in a quartet setting,".
