Voices Cafe is thrilled to present the dynamic, creative force of Rick Reyes & Santos de Palo on Saturday March 1st at 8pm.
This concert promises to be a unique, expansive musical exploration. The Latin Americana music genre simply does not capture this innovative fusing of Caribbean Mountain folk music with North American folk traditions such as bluegrass, country, and gospel.
March 1st’s concert features Rick Reyes on the guitar and vocals, Asher Delerme on percussion, Kris Jensen on saxophone and Rich Zurkowski on bass and cuartro.
This concert is on Saturday, March 1st, doors open at 7:30pm, showtime is 8:00pm. Tickets and information are available at https://voicescafe.org/ General admission is $25 per ticket.
Voices Cafe offers a BYO setting with a choice of coffee-house style seating at tables or individual seating. Coffee and sweet treats are available for purchase, and guests are welcome to bring their own beverages and snacks. Groups of four or more can reserve table space.
Voices Cafe concerts are presented at The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport at 10 Lyons Plains Road, Westport CT, and the concerts support social justice programs in our local community.
