SUMMARY:Buena Vista Social Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:JESUS “AGUAJE” RAMOS (born 1951) is a Cuban trombonist\, composer\, arranger and musical director. He is best known as the original orchestra leader\, composer and trombonist of The Buena Vista Social Club. He has also served long stints in world class ensembles Estrellas de Areito and Afro-Cuban Allstars. His musical journey and history is brought into focus throughout the critically acclaimed 1999 documentary “Buena Vista Social Club” Ramos performed on the World Circuit recordings of The Buena Vista Social Club and Afro-Cuban Allstars and the solo albums of Ibrahim Ferrer\, Ruben Gonzales and Omara Portuondo. He was Gonzales’s musical director and has been touring extensively since 1997 with various Buena Vista Social Club projects. He was a prominent member and musical director of the renowned Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club\, which brought the music of the original Buena Vista Social Club back into international prominence during the incredibly successful ‘Adios’ Tour from 2014-2016. The Buena Vista Orchestra\, under the direction of Ramos and featuring key players from throughout the history of The Buena Vista Social Club\, continued the legacy of the legendary group in 2024 with an exciting new stage production and repertoire pulled from the greatest hits (many of which Ramos composed) and deep-dive cuts.

Their adventure culminated in the release of USA TOUR 2024 – 12 LIVE RECORDINGS on SSK Records\, the first time in decades the group’s music will be available on CD and vinyl.

SUMMARY:Eric Johnson- Texaphonic Tour 2025
DESCRIPTION:One of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock over the past 40 years\, Texas guitarist Eric Johnson was already a legend before he recorded his first album. By the early 1980s\, many celebrated guitarists were singing the praises of this skinny kid from Austin with the mind-melting chops. Comparisons were made to such guitar heroes as Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix and when he joined the ‘70s Austin fusion band Electromagnets they were being hailed as “the Mahavishnu Orchestra of Texas”. With the release of his highly-anticipated 1986 solo debut album Tones\, the underground guitar legend finally emerged onto the scene fully-formed. It landed him on thecover of Guitar Player magazine\, which hailed the album as a “majestic debut”\, and earned him his first Grammy nomination for the song “Zap”. With the release of his follow up album\, 1990’s platinum-selling Ah Via Musicom\, which contained the Grammy Award winning song “Cliffs of Dover”\, Eric Johnson became a bona fide international guitar phenomenon. \nThe New Age Music Guide once opined that “Eric Johnson plays guitar the way Michelangelo painted ceilings: with a colorful vibrancy that’s more real than life” while Rolling Stone included him in their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of the 21st century. A dynamic singer as well as an incredibly gifted guitarist\, a pianist and a prolific songwriter\, Eric has been featured on the cover of countless guitar magazines around the world while also racking up critical accolades along the way. \nSince 1986 Eric has released seventeen albums\, in addition to albums with other artists such as Eclectic with jazz guitarist Mike Stern\, and the platinum-selling G3 Live with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Eric has received eight Grammy nominations along with numerous other recognitions\, awards and wins in various polls and magazines. Among Johnson’s many accolades are a GRAMMY award in 1992 for “Cliffs of Dover” as Best Rock Instrumental Performance\, lifetime induction into the Guitar Player Gallery of Greats\, and his listing among the “100 Greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century” by Musician magazine. In his hometown of Austin Texas\, a city full of guitarists\, the readers of the Austin Chronicle voted Eric Johnson the city’s “Best Electric Guitarist” and “Best Acoustic Guitarist” in their yearly poll year after year. They also named him “Electric Guitarist of the Decade” and one of the top five “Musicians of the Decade”. In February 2024 Eric was honored with induction into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association Hall of Fame. \n2023 found Eric on his ‘Treasure Tour’\, 67 US dates that were split between a Spring and a Fall tour. In January and February 2024 Eric joined the ‘G3 Reunion Tour’ with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai\, and the resulting new live album from the tour will be released in January 2025. In August 2024 he heads out for a run of dates in the north and northeast including the Backroads Blues Festival in New York. In September and October 2024 Eric was a featured performer on the ‘Experience Hendrix 2024 Tour’\, crossing the country from Washington state to Florida\, and then rejoined in March and April 2025 for the ‘Experience Hendrix 2025 Tour’ throughout the east and northeast USA and Canada. \nOver the course of more than four decades\, Eric Johnson has been traveling on a prolific odyssey. Along the way\, his creations have cross-pollinated the various musical genres which include rock\, blues\, jazz\, fusion\, soul\, folk\, new-age\, classical\, and even country. Inevitably EJ says it best himself in sharing that regardless of the genre “It really boils down to the music and the song at the end of the day”\, he explains. “The most important thing for me is to grow musically and make a more expansive and meaningful artistic statement with every new project”.
