Artist Spotlight (February 24th, 2016) DIEGO'S UMBRELLA

This week it brings me an overwhelming amount of inner giddiness to bring you the Spotlight Artist:

Diego's Umbrella!

Lovingly borrowed bio from their Facebook page:

          
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love Diego's Umbrella and those who soon will.

Celebrated as San Fr
ancisco's Ambassadors of Gypsy Rock, these world renowned entertainers have created an irresistible cocktail that is entirely their own. On a planet bombarded with every possible kind of entertainment, a Diego's Umbrella show is a singular, ecstatic experience; one concert is all it takes to turn you into a believer. Night after night they effortlessly blend marching drums, harmonized shredding and gang choruses with showmanship that has all the fire and unpredictability of youth, coupled with the refinement of years of experience on the road. The group's uncanny gift for pleasing crowds, from standard clubs to huge festivals such as High Sierra and Outside Lands, has earned them a breathless and ever-expanding following across the United States and Europe, and that connection with other cultures continues to inform their aesthetic. In their music you will hear klezmer, flamenco and punk rock all blended to pop perfection.

I traveled through the most horrendous rainstorm in my adult life to see these guys in concert at Harlow's in Sacramento.  They were worth every moment of impending death!

They are in the middle of a tour as of this published blog, so if you get the chance, definitely see them live!
