Fall Transition + New Projects
Well, it was a great summer to say the least. A lot of music, adventures, and overall fun times. Now is the time to slow down a bit as we transition into the fall season. While Eléré will remain active and are preparing for some upcoming shows, I will be shifting focus to a couple of other projects I am involved in. My brother and co-band leader Carlos Snaider is presenting all new, original music and we will be opening for La Dame Blanche at Century Ballroom on 11/5 as part of the Earshot Jazz Festival. The project is called Multiverso and I am very excited to explore sounds with the group! I am also working with Jose Carron's Todo Folclor Cubano preparing for a performance at Benaroya Hall on 12/1. Please check out the "Events" section for more information and to buy tickets for upcoming shows.
That's all for now. Hasta luego!
