New albums coming from Brian Hobbs and Andreas Aleman
I am planning the release of my instrumental album, SECOND GLANCES in October this year. The album is a smooth mix of bossa nova, Jazz and latin-influenced music. The album is a look back at songs I have written over the last 30 years. I plan to have a release party in my home town of Elizabeth City, NC… where it all started.
ANDREAS ALEMAN is busy tracking his second album. His first album, THIS IS LIFE, got fantastic reponse from critics and fans. we plan to build on that success, so stay tuned for more slick, funky songs with Andreas’ vocals and keyboard stylings backed up by some of the funkiest musicans in Sweden. Tentative release: February 2011.
Andreas Aleman guest artist with Stockholm Soul Band
This Sunday, May 9, at 8:00 pm, Andreas Aleman will be a guest artist with the Stockholm Soul Band at Mosebacke in Stockholm.
He is hard at work on his new album and this is probably the last chance to see him live before the album release this autumn. Don’t miss it!
