Join us for the first part of our swingin' summertime "Double Feature Friday" at BLU as we celebrate jazzy torch blues with a cabaret-style twist with this hot group from Columbus! Featuring Anna Paolucci, Dan Sagraves, Rick Soriano.
Anna & the Consequences are jazzy torch blues at its best, cabaret style and Lounge Lizards are always welcome. The trio features smoky songstress Anna Paolucci, plus Dan Sagraves lends his hipster edge and slaphappy fingers to the musical mix on vocals and upright bass, then add Rick Soriano’s varied musical textures on keyboards, and WOW! Sexy, sultry, swingin’ and fun!
The sound of the human voice, old wood instruments and strings, the drawn bow… music as it was for hundreds of years. It’s a fresh sound for an idea so old. Strip away electricity and hear the real sound of the human voice, person to person, as it was meant to be. As society has gotten louder and busier we’ve forgotten the sound of the voice in its purest form. Melody against chord in stark relief. Melodies that move, passion, fun… somehow they seem more honest without all the racket.
Silence is a fantastic backdrop for music but surely not the only one. Picture a New York cabaret in 1947. Full menu, big wooden bar. Fabulous dresses, smart suits and polished shoes. People talking, laughing, dancing… or not. Go ahead and have a conversation with your friends or your date. Let the sound wash over you while you enjoy each other. Pay attention for a minute until you think of something else to say. Maybe get up and move together on the dance floor!
Don’t miss this exciting group in their BLU debut, and be sure to stick around for the late show featuring the Nick Puin Band, starting at 8PM!
