Information

Vocalist Ariella McManus and guitarist Nicolaas Kraster define musical versatility. Their performances can bounce from soul, blues, jazz, flamenco, and world music, both within their original tunes and unique interpretations of popular fare. The duo recently moved from Florida to Greenville, S.C., and will make their Western North Carolina debut performance this evening. Ariella & Nicolaas have performed at the Blue Note in New York City and Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh, Scotland, while Ariella has performed with famed producer Fabrice Dupont and legendary bassist Victor Wooten, among many others. Etta James and Amy Winehouse shape Ariella’s vocal style, while Nicolaas cites Spanish guitarist Paco de Lucía and American blues icon Roy Buchanan among his influences. For this performance expect a concert with varied styles and paces, a mix of known favorites peppered with infectious original compositions. This is a seated performance.
