Fernando Holz at Amazing Things Arts Center

About

Fernando Holz is a Brazilian singer/songwriter in the tradition of Jobim, Djavan and Ivan Lins. His effortless singing style is like a gentle ocean breeze, and his sambas will have you dancing in the aisle. Backed by a dynamite rhythm section and the sultry sounds of Jon Simmons' trombone, Fernando's music will transport you to a warm, magical place. "In addition to being an excellent singer, Holz is a composer of great sensibility...beautiful and provocative melodic lines. But the most significant part of his work as a composer is represented by his lyrics." Martin Pillsbury, Ritmo Brasileiro
