Joseph Leo Bwarie:
What:
Rising jazz star and
nationally-acclaimed performer Joseph Leo Bwarie will be playing a
live 40 minute set with songs from his smash-hit debut album,
“Nothin’ But Love,” at SXSW. Breaking through the sounds of the
traditional genres showcased at SXSW, Bwarie is one of the few
artists bringing jazz to the incredible music festival taking place
this week.
His performance will feature a ten piece
band with internationally renowned musicians from across the
country including keyboardist Rick Krive of Boca Raton, FL,
Henry Brun of San Antonio, and bass and percussionists from Austin,
San Antonio, New York and Puerto Rico.
In 2011, Bwarie emerged as a solo artist
with his debut album, produced and arranged by original Four
Seasons member and Billboard hit-maker Charles Calello (renowned
arranger for Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Neil Diamond, Barry
Manilow, Laura Nyro and Frankie Valli). When iTunes placed “Nothin’
But Love” as “New and Noteworthy” Bwarie’s pop-jazz crossover
quickly climbed into the top 10 iTunes Jazz chart. Known for his
fresh take on the swingin’ Capitol Records “sound” Bwarie continues
to push the envelope with his song selection, creating new modern
classics that appeal to all ages.
