Some truly “don’t-miss-it” stuff coming your way at Ce Soir as the week unfolds…

And now…a note about what happened on Sunday and Monday!

On Sunday, DRAGONFLY jetted in and shared some amazing music. One song after another, he had us in the groove. His cutting-edge style – blending nicely with his friendly banter – just takes us there! Where is there? An absolutely marvelous place out in the musical stratosphere…

On Monday, the fun started at 2 PM SLT with none other than the astounding JordanReyne Deezul. Wow. It was an hour of great industrial folk noir that is Jordan’s specialty. In fact, she’s reinventing it, including very unique factory sounds and steam with that incredibly melodic voice. Celtic melodies weave themselves over and through that base of rhythm and sound. Absolutely riveting!

Than, guitar master Voodoo Shilton stepped to the stage and off we went on one of his musical world tours! The crowd really got into it and we were dancing and clapping our hearts out. Mireille had added some flamenco dances to our system, and Voodoo serenaded us as we twirled and leapt and generally had a wonderful time!

After a break, it was The Kentucky Gentleman in for a round of great guitar and vocals to charm even the hardest of hearts. Steely Decosta just has a way about him that charms everyone – and we certainly enjoy those fantastic guitar riffs!

At 7, it was Alex Mays at the helm. Oh, man, can he hand out the jazz and blues numbers! It was a rollicking good time as he made that guitar sing and he and buddy Bad traded barbs! They had everyone laughing and we danced the hour away!

To put a proper wrap on the night, legend Tukso Okey dropped in and took the place by storm – a gentle storm that had such energy inside it. Talk about sensuous and moving music! OMGahhhh! It was just fantastic, as this musical genius created it all on the fly. He’s got the chops to do that, and do it, he did last night!

These folks will all be back at Ce Soir in weeks to come…so don’t miss a one!

See ya!
