Kevin Breit debuts Ernesto and Delilah @ Hugh’s Room, June 25th-2015
Kevin Breit entertained a sold out audience with selections from his new CD – Ernesto and Delilah a couple of weeks back at Hugh’s. Breit, was accompanied by collaborator Rebecca Jenkins and members of his Upper York Mandolin Orchestra*. The recording, inspired by the life and tragic death of Brazilian composer Ernesto Ciari is a labour of love for mandolin lover Breit. The arrangements , showcasing Breit’s play on the madocello, are tight, the band – mainly all stars of the Toronto bluegrass scene -were superb. The e stage dynamic between Jenkins and Breit is obvious and entertaining. Kevin is determined to take this band on the road, so look for them in your town. I’ve posted three songs from the show. Enjoy.
*The Upper York Mandolin Orchestra are Jesse Cobb, Adrian Gross, Rebecca Jenkins, Kevin Breit, Andrew Collins, Colin Couch on tuba and David DiRenzo percussion.
