Brazilian music at the 2high festival this Friday night



Just giving everyone a heads up about the 2high festival at The Powerhouse this weekend.

It's an emerging arts festival with music, theatre and the like....

Most of the music from what I can see is indie rock/pop, but there's a couple of interesting musical bits n pieces worth checking, one being Brisbane's Lady of soul Kristen Haynes performing some soul/funk at 6 pm 2 morrow night, and Jesse Whitney an amazingly talented young guitarist in the vein of Gilberto Gill, Dejavan, Edu Lobo, Marcos Valle, Joao Gilberto (the older rhythmical Brazilian style). He'll be playing a couple of his folk/reggae/tropical crossover tunes and then a some Brazilian classics (Palco, Ponteio) ,and an original Brazilian tune of his (very much in the Edu Lobo/Marcos Valle style), accompanied by bass, trumpet and drumkit.

The festival is free, and Jesse Plays at 7:30pm.
