Koubek Center is excited to announce DISC-COVER @ Koubek, a new program that spotlights new musical releases by homegrown artists. The Koubek will partner with local artists throughout the year by hosting concerts highlighting the exciting new music being released in our Magic City! Postcards is a rocking, symphonic sophomore album from Miami-based Lemon City Trio. Nick Tannura (guitar), Brian Robertson (synth/keys), and Aaron Glueckauf (drums) bring a lot to the table. Tannura plays lead lines with the presence of a vocalist. Robertson arranges with the touch of a film composer — he is one — broadening the instrumentation while always keeping the song laser focused on melody. Glueckauf, meanwhile, is a human beat machine, the tasty backbone of everything else happening in the music. Progressive rock, jazz fusion, contemporary Saharan music, the aforementioned hip hop and funk — the name Postcards is a reference to visiting all these musical destinations, stopping for a spell in each and sending something back home. What makes LCT cool is their ability to go to all these disparate places and always sound like themselves in the process. The album release concert will feature Brian Potts (founder Miamibloco).

Come and enjoy a one of a kind blues concert with special performances. Music, kid’s activities and full access to the garden. Food trucks will be present preparing delicious BBQ flavors and more. Join us for an amazing evening of music and great eats!

In the music of Israel Fernández and Diego del Morao, two worlds coexist, the ancient and the contemporary, rejuvenating classic flamenco style. Israel Fernandez, the young singer from Toledo, is a charismatic emerging figure in flamenco music. His voice conveys a wide spectrum of characteristics in which anguish, spirit and the gypsy world coexist with tempo, sweetness and musicality. Among his qualities, his enormous personality, perfect tuning, a devilish mastery of rhythm and an inordinate enthusiasm for an art that represents his way of life, all stand out. At just age 18 he joined the renown Carlos Saura Company, and has been summoned by great maestros ever since. Israel has firmly established himself with “Amor”, his latest work with Diego Del Morao, as a great hope for the future of this genre. Diego del Morao, son of legendary guitarist Moráito Chico, is considered by many as the number one player today. Diego creates his own style, without losing respect for the tradition of his roots. He has accompanied a who’s who in Spanish music, jazz and beyond - artists like Diego El Cigala, Niña Pastori, and even Paco de Lucía, and collaborated with international legends including Chick Corea, Bebo Valdés and Fito Páez. This show is co-presented with FUNDarte. Food & beverage are available for purchase at the show. The Bandshell is an open-air covered venue, all programs are rain or shine. Your ticket, once purchased, is non-refundable. Any questions? boxoffice@rhythmfoundation.com
