Fuerza Bruta!

You could say mother nature exacted her heat force on our portion of the globe this week. Fuerza Bruta is one of the most unique theatrical experiences I've had recently and it's an ideal summer show because the audience does get sprinkled with water at times. : ) It's not a sit down night, so if you go, be prepared to dance and have a blast! I caught a few brief moments on video--probably the most "how do they do that?" part is the overhead sort of water ballet that moves downward to just inches above your head...incredible!


In our Night Rhythms Livebeat this month, Connecticut State Troubadour, Lara Herscovitch adorned the WHUD airwaves with beautiful songs in our Friday night. We heard Mirrors and Smoke

from her album, Through a Frozen Midnight Sky.

Lara performed Like I Do and my favorite from the album,

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. We also heard Lara's tongue-in-cheek tune, Blah Blah Blah (a love song) found on her album Juror Number 13. The John Street Jam in Saugerties is where you'll find Lara this Saturday night, 7/10 @ 7:30pm. Check her busy touring schedule, including a stop @ The Connecticut Folk Festival on Saturday, 9/11 @ 5pm.Lara mentioned she's working on new songs, and you can hear more from Through a Frozen Midnight Sky at her web home.

Hope you're keeping cool as our hot sun experiences a total solar eclipse on Sunday. : ) Not sure if he's been noticed by Oprah, Simon or Ellen yet, but Sungha Jung is definitely a star...

Shine,
Catherine
