The Fernando Holz Group
7-14-2012 (BALLROOM)
One of the finest singer/songwriters Brazil has produced, Fernando Holz is in a class with Caetano Veloso, Ivan Lins, Djavan and Jobim. His voice is poignant, playful, caressing and his songs come from the soul.
From samba to Brazilian pop and jazz to bossa novas, and even a Kurt Cobain cover, the Fernando Holz Group charms with its tight grooves and sensitive interplay. Sit back, sip a caipirinha and let the gentle tunes from Rio de Janeiro seduce you.
The Fernano Holz Group is: Jon Simmons on trombone; Molly Flannery on piano; Jason Davis on bass; Steve Rose on drums and, of course, Fernando Holz on guitar and unforgettable vocals.
“Indeed, composer-vocalist Fernando Holz bares it all......So soothing, so simple, yet so profound & forthcoming. Latinos speak through their music, certainly Fernando speaks to us so beautifully through his. I can’t help compare Fernando’s efforts to the great Jobim. Folks, this is the real deal!!” George W.
