The honeyed tones and sensitive interpretations of Antonio Zambujo have propelled him into the vanguard of modern fadistas, and marking him as a unique voice on Lisbon's fado scene. Antonio initially studied clarinet and classical guitar, but grew up steeped in the music of his homeland region, cante alentejano, a male choir chant from the South of Portugal which is infused with influences from neighboring North Africa. These formative influences blend with his passion for jazz and Brazilian music to create an artist who is expanding the horizons of traditional fado while remaining committed to exploring its roots.

When you think of “grassroots” and “down to Earth,” you don’t normally think of a movie star. You especially don't think of a movie star the caliber of Jeff Daniels. Yet that is exactly what Jeff has accomplished with his second CD Grandfather’s Hat. With the follow-up album to Live and Unplugged, Daniels has proven that he is not an actor who sings, but an accomplished singer/songwriter who’s musical talent does not require the support of his acting. Further proof of his talent is supported by the musicians Daniels has performed with over the last couple of years. Although it took him some time to feel comfortable on stage behind his guitar, Daniels’ confidence has matured with his songwriter, being invited on stage to perform a few songs with legends Lyle Lovett, John Haitt, and Guy Clark during their rare “Songwriters” tour. Having his pal Keb Mo’ join Jeff on stage was equally rewarding (Jeff calls it a “free guitar lesson”).
