musicquarium must see ~ ranger & the "re-arrangers"

Seattle gypsy band Ranger and the "Re-Arrangers" evoke the spirit of a Paris cafe and the raucous energy of a Gypsy campsite with their unique twist on gypsy jazz. Their tight rhythm section features a hand drummer, giving the music a bouncy swing and accentuating the joyful interplay between the two soloists. The band's repertoire includes swing standards, traditional Gypsy melodies, the music of Django and Grappelli, Brazilian chorus, and Ranger's unique originals.  Have a listen here>>

See the Rangers and the "Re-Arrangers" during Happy Hour on Fridays, starting at February 14, at 5PM in the Musicquarium. NO COVER {21+} 

musicquarium must see ~ Danny Godinez

If your looking to be awed, Danny Godinez is your guy. Using harmonics, slapping his strings, and picking with precision and speed, Godinez "becomes one" with his guitar right before your eyes. And, right when you think this is as good as it gets, he adds smooth singing and vocally mimics his guitar licks in harmony - creating more than just music, he creates a soundscape experience. 

Danny Godinez is a Seattle based genre-bending guitarist/singer/songwriter that has opened for, or shared the stage with, Robben Ford, ZZ Top, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Herbie Hancock, and Jason Mraz - to name a few.  He performs solo, with various musicians in his own band, and collaborates with legendary drummer Michael Shrieve (Santana) in Spellbinder. 

Catch Danny Godinez, with Larry Mahlis on drums, Farko Dosumov on bass, and Darian Asplund on woodwinds/keys on Friday, January 17, at 9PM in the Musicquarium {21+} NO COVER
