Description
ONE NIGHT ONLY
“Their energy, impeccable timing and the passion that comes through their music makes them the most exciting and intoxicating live acoustic performers on the planet” - Acoustic Magazine UK
“This music is the sound of passion as interpreted by and spoken for in a new rock and roll language.” - Allmusic.com
For immediate release - Ireland’s ex-pat Mexican acoustic guitar duo, the sensational ‘Rodrigo y Gabriela’ are returning to Australia in March 2008, after stunning audiences here in 2006 on their first tour.
The tour will include performances at the East Coast Blues & Roots music festival, and the pair will continue to promote their recent self-titled album which features many of the blistering songs played in their live set on Spanish guitars.
Rodrigo y Gabriela have been one of the great word of mouth success stories of recent times. They’ve been spurred on by steady touring, knock out festival spots, quality press reviews, radio support; and UK TV appearances on ‘Later With Jools Holland’ and more recently, the BBC’s Glastonbury coverage and in the US Letterman, Leno & Craig Ferguson.
Their current set includes everything from jazz standards, covers of Metallica’s ‘Orion’ and Led Zeppelin’s ‘Stairway to Heaven’ plus a host of world music jaw droppers and a few surprises which feature their unique blend of Spanish guitar, Latin rhythms, heavy metal and jazz.
