The Alexa Weber Morales Band is at Pearl's, tonight, February 8th through Sunday, February 10th (ticket details at the bottom of the message). "We'll emphasize Brazilian repertoire, with songs by Edu Lobo ("Ave Rara," "Ponteio"), Guinga ("Orassamba") and Ivan Lins ("Sambadouro," "Lua Soberana"). I've also got some new originals cooked up for you ("Into the Stratosphere" and "Let's Not Ruin This Affair")," says Alexa.
"But wait, there's more! Only once in a long while do I get to bring you the a cappella sounds I love LIVE! We'll do "Morning" and "Calling You" with singers Bryan Dyer, Zareen, and David Chaidez. We'll be joined by Murray Low, piano; Scott Thompson, bass; David Flores, drums; and Emiliano Benevides, percussion. All eight of us have eclectic taste, an addiction to rhythm, and a love of great songs from around the world. I'm eagerly awaiting that irrepressible Brazilian groove that Emiliano and Scott will drive home, since they both have so much experience in the genre," informs the singer.

The Goddess of War Makes Neil Young's List!
"Singer-songwriter icon Neil Young has tirelessly opposed the war in Iraq, his expression of dissent culminating in the 2006 release, Living With War. Now my original The Goddess of War from the new album Vagabundeo (Patois, 2007) has made Young's list of 2,421 protest "Songs of the Times" and is currently at #160! Thank you for your support and thank you to the musicians who made this song a powerful and unique protest!"
