STEVE DUNKELBERGER: CARIBBEAN COMBO >>>
The ukulele revolution continues with another strategy session set for this week. Captain Swing hosts Trader Tom and his Caribbean Combo from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24. Bill Merwin and his Hawaiian guitar and Tom Brooks with his ukulele have combined forces for a spell to create the "tropical swing" sound of the Caribbean Combo.
"It's new for me as it is the first 'gig' I've done where I'm not playing bass," Brooks says. "It is also refreshing because, as a bassist, I am more often in a supportive role where in this case I have selected the musicians, the instrumentation, most of the tunes and arranged how they will be played. It is always fun to bring together musicians from different elements to collaborate and perform something that may be new for each of us."
The crew includes Rick Mellenbacher on bass, Mark Runions on accordion, Tom Hume on drums and Margie Pasero on percussion.
The ship sails at A Rhapsody in Bloom Florist and Café Latte.
Check it out.
