Campari Kid + Siren of the Squeezebox

/in /by

“Siren of the Squeezebox Cathie Travers virtuosically weaves through Campari Kid !an L!lburne’s poetic examinations of the human condition. She sighs and sings with her accordion while he sings poetry with his Spanish guitar.  […] thoughtful as well as musical. The collaboration embraced the talents of two writer composers who are unafraid of experimentation and honest expression.”

A sweltering summer evening at the Bakery, a one off performance for the FRINGE WORLD Festival.

Cathie Travers’ accordion complimented !an L!lburne’s Spanish guitar within a tight quintet – Phil Bailey (bass), Peter Smith (percussion), Pete Grandison (frets) – to perform L!lburne’s classically crafted, haunting yet playful songs + Travers’ expressive gypsy + jazz-inspired instrumentals. Catchy tangos, cool tarantellas + twisted tales of romance infused with gypsy airs + dark wit, distinguished by superb playing.
