They will be performing in concert at Lorenzo’s Café, east of Enderby, Friday, June 8 to celebrate their new release. The concert will feature the trio’s own interpretive blend of eastern, Latin jazz, blues, African, pan-Asian, and Celtic folk influences.

Joy brings a fusion of Celtic, Baroque, and folk-rock to the mix through his mastery of the hammered dulcimer, flute and guitar.
Guitarist Prevedoros, renowned for his instrumental virtuosity and exuberant live performances, brings the Latin, jazz and flamenco element to this shared musical adventure that is grounded in many traditions and yet, brand new.
