Just the Two of Us &amp; Friends: A Night of Bossa Nova &amp; Beyond
What if a band could be tiny and huge at the same time?
That's exactly what Just the Two of Us &amp; Friends does. One night, they might show up as just two people - a singer and a pianist playing softly in a corner. The next night, they could be five musicians filling a room with groove, making people tap their feet and head to the dance floor.
And here's the best part: you get to choose.
Let's meet the core group.
Debo Orlofsky is the singer. Her voice is warm and smooth - like honey in your tea. She can sing sassy and swingy, or soft and heartbreaking. Bossa nova fits her like a favorite pair of gloves.
Mike Hua plays piano. He's not just a "play the notes" kind of guy. He's creative. He adds colors and surprises. He loves to improvise, which means every show is a little different.
Steve Hill is the guitarist. He's played rock, funk, R&amp;B, and jazz. His guitar sounds warm and glowing. When he plays, it feels like the sun coming out from behind a cloud.
Maud Beenhouwer plays bass. She keeps the bottom steady and warm. And get this she's in the New Mexico Music Hall of Fame. She helped bring salsa to Albuquerque. Yes, she's kind of a big deal.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/151437/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info
