I'm terrible at "News" posts..
Well folks.. judging by the bi-annulal posts I make here, clearly this is not where you go for "news" on my activites.
Please check in with me on my Facebook page for that kind of thing. Or my Shows page
Real talk..

New Projects, upcoming shows
Year 2016 is off to a good start with a new project, and some great shows on the horizon.
I happy to accounce the arrival of Trio Cordas, a project with violinist Shaina Evoniuk and my long time friend Daniel Fabricant (bass). Trio Cordas performs a mix of Latin music; Brazilian, Cuban, Flamenco and beyond.
I've also started a duo project with Portland based mandolin virtuoso Tim Connell. Initially conceived as a Brazilian choro duo, we are fast spreading out into other genres as well and discovering a mutual admiration for The Beatles, jazz, and more! We'll be playing in the SF Bay Area and Portland this year.
And Grupo Falso Baiano contines to perform as work on our new album, due out this year. We've recently completed a session at MegaSonic Sound in Oakland and have a bit more before we being mixing.
Hope to see you out there!

A big thank you!
I just wanted to write with feelings of extreme gratitude for the mountain of folks who came out to the Ricardo Peixoto-Brian Moran duo show at The Red Poppy last Fri March 6. It's always a great feeling to play for a packed a house. Look for future shows with this duo, as well as my other projects (Grupo Falso Baiano, Paloma Negra, and more)
