CD Release Party Fri, October 17th 2008 Old Curtis st. Bar (2100 Curtis) with special guests:
Bad Weather California Jen Korte & the Loss Los Dos
In a variety of incarnations, musical provocateur Yuzo Nieto has not so quietly been pushing the boundaries of Denver's musical and poetic communities. With a background in written and oral poetry, theater, and opera, Nieto understands the importance of range and versatility in performance. Immersed in both technical and experimental musicianship. In his latest endeavor, Hand That Rocks the Dreidel, Nieto once again assumes the lead, this time showcasing his unique songwriting talents, blending country, pop and Latin melodies with poetic and often radically charged verse.
What was originally planned as Nieto's full length solo album debut evolved into a collaboration with a number of friends and local musicians including Doo Crowder of Pee Pee, Handsome Bobby Louis III, well as many others. Now backed by a supporting band that includes Avi Sherbill and Danny Shyman of Josephine & the Mousepeople on percussion, vocals, keyboard, and guitar; Neil McCormick and Jon Olson from Pink Hawks on upright bass and percussion. With the coming out of his debut album titled Building Up while Falling Down, Yuzo Nieto & the Hand That Rocks the Dreidel will spin heads.
Thank you for being a high-functioning, highly empathetic conversationalist. You may be across many states (most of the time), but I adore you. Oh, and I believe whole-heartedly in your music.
Joey, you look so at home playing music! I am SO proud of you and I tell everyone about you and BITF!!! I love the music and I just wish we could actually make it out there to see you! Love you and miss you!!!!
