THE LOTUS FIRE SERVES UP SOME SALSA
Not to go unnoticed is the new Tate Music Group album by Sarasota-based, salsa-flavored quintet The Lotus Fire. Released a month ago, the album — titled “Release” — contains the group’s signature mixture of Rumba flamenco, gypsy swing and blues. Highlights include the title track, “Last Dance For Me” and “Stop Making Sense.”
It’s available at iTunes, Amazon. com or TateMusicGroup.com. (http://goo.gl/6p99mH)
You can check them out in person this weekend; they’re playing 8-11 p.m. Saturday at Darwin’s on 4th, 1525 4th St., Sarasota. Dance the night away with Ari McManus (vocals), Nicolaas Kraster (guitar), Kevin Aland (violin), Christopher Austin (percussion) and Jon-Robert Levi McGlaughlin (guitar).
JUST A FEW REMINDERS
• Sarasota rock trio Boyce Avenue makes its national morning TV debut Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” The Manzano brothers will be performing “I’ll Be the One,” the lead track off their “No Limits” EP, which was released this week. (http://goo.gl/QQ8MlG)
The band also has announced a 26-city North American tour this fall. It opens Oct. 17 in Nashville and closes Nov. 22 in Orlando at the House of the Blues (their only Florida appearance on this tour).
See the complete itinerary at BoyceAvenue.com.
• Mark your calendar for the fifth annual Harvey Milk Festival: May 17 at Five Points Park in downtown Sarasota.
