The Franklin County Arts Guild’s
Sweet Tooth Theater brings back the popular MAMBO GRIS GRIS band.
This musical program will be at the Cowan Center for the
Arts, 303 Montgomery Street, Cowan, TN on February 10, 2007.
Mambo Gris Gris.
The concept might seem far-fetched — a six-piece band with
accordion, congas and saxophone playing music from New Orleans and
old Mexico — but the execution is genuine and enthusiastic.
Mambo Gris Gris
plays certain songs from various artists that capture the essence
of the Latino heritage mixed with American influence. Having the
sounds of the accordion, flute, classic guitar, bass and congas
gives it the Latin feel. You throw in a good, smooth saxophone
from the jazzy side and a great drummer adding a little bit of
rock & roll — you got yourself a great sounding band.
Band members are
Jose Matienzo – Congas, Percussion, Vocals
Mark Torstenson – Guitar, Cuatro, Vocals
Mike Dendy – Drums,
Percussion, Vocals
Steve Motz – Saxophones
Curtis Barkley – Bass
Chuck White – Piano
Eric Torstenson – Accordion, Flute, Vocals (special appearance)
Tickets for the
February 10th performance are $15.00.
Doors open at 6:30p.m.
The guild will be serving desserts and beverage.
All proceeds will go towards the guild’s art scholarship
fund.
Come join
us for an evening of great music, dancing, tasty desserts, and
just lots of FUN. For
tickets or information contact Janet at the Winchester Antique
Mall 967-9930 or Denise at The Artisan Depot. Back
