Crimson Canary is BACK and playing a lovely evening concert for us on the Library lawn! Bring a blanket or chair, relax, and let the music move you. RAIN DATE is Friday, August 6th at 6pm.
Crimson Canary consists of guitarist/vocalist David Chu and vocalist Lonnie Chu, known for their vintage music sung in various languages. They also perform and educate about flamenco music. This year they are joined by talented vocalist and bassist Erik Valdes.
David Chu began his music career as a teen playing piano and percussion, but soon switched to guitar. An accomplished soloist, he provides accompaniment and is the group’s arranger and composer. He delights audiences with the variety of genres he plays on either guitar, including flamenco, jazz, blues, Brazilian, and even Beatles.
Lonnie Chu, manager and singer, has also played folk guitar and bluegrass mandolin and enjoys singing in various languages and genres. A professor of Spanish by day, she delights in teaching audiences how to participate in flamenco’s rhythmic hand-clapping (palmas).
Erik Valdes is a former attorney turned home-schooling dad and part time multi-instrumentalist with a passion for music and languages from all over the world.
