Pink Martini is coming to San Diego for a show. Come to Humphrey’s by the Bay for the fun. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Pink Martini is a “little orchestra” from Portland, Oregon, formed in 1994 by pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale. They blend genres of music such as Latin, lounge, classical, and jazz. Their music has often been described as “vintage music”[who?], a descriptive which reflects the content, style and period inspiring many of their songs. Band leader, Thomas Lauderdale describes the band’s sound as “music of the world without being world music. It’s kind of like urban symphonic crossed with Cuban/Brazilian street Carnival parade, Breakfast at Tiffany’s/United Nations kind of thing. The goal was to kind of records with which one would hopefully never grow tired of. Records that could be played whether you were sad or gleeful. Cleaning, vacuuming around the house or seducing somebody’s grandmother.”

The Trumpet master is coming to San Diego for a show. Chris Botti will be at Humphrey’s by the Bay. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Botti was the leader of the house band on the nationally syndicated daytime talk show The Caroline Rhea Show (a replacement for The Rosie O’Donnell Show) for its only season in 2002-2003.

He was named one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People of 2004.

For several years, Botti also hosted a radio show called Chill with Chris Botti, that focused mainly on “chill” music, which is described as “smooth jazz with a touch of cool jazz.” In 2007, saxophonist Mindi Abair took over the hosting duties, and the show, using the same format as before, is now called Chill with Mindi Abair.

With the success of To Love Again, Botti hosted a special concert at the Wilshire Theatre in Los Angeles in December 2005 with many of the guest artists from the CD. It was recorded for airing on PBS in Spring 2006 as Chris Botti: Live with Orchestra and Special Guests, which also was released as a DVD.

Cecilio & Kapono Tickets in San Diego

I have never heard of Cecilio & Kapono, so we have Wikipedia to answer that. They are coming to San Diego for a show at Humphrey’s by the Bay. Here is some info from wikipedia:

The story began “with a harmony’s perfect blending” under a starry night on Oahu’s North Shore in February 1973. Then came 8 consecutive months of Sold Out shows 6 nights a week at Waikiki’s Legendary Rainbow Villa inevitably leading to a multi-album national recording contract with Columbia Records.

Henry Kapono Ka’aihue & Cecilio David Rodriguez were introduced by mutual friends. They played a couple of familiar songs and discovered almost instantly that something magical was happening. “That was the moment that everything happened. It was there the first time we sang,” Kapono recalled years later. It was the beginning of Cecilio & Kapono.

Cecilio Rodriguez, was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California where he received an extensive musical education. After forming a band and performing during high school and college, Cecilio moved to Los Angeles where he quickly advanced his musical career as a guitarist. From his first group “Unicorn” to Sonny Charles to Little Anthony and the Imperials, it quickly became apparent that Cecilio was destined to take center stage.
