Orkestar Bez Ime - CD Release Party Jan. 28th
Hi all!
I haven't been on Livejournal in many many months, but I've been inspired by a few folks to come back to the fold...and, of course, my first returning entry involves self-promotion...Imagine that!
Anyways, this is for the upcoming CD Release Party that I am having with my band Orkestar Bez Ime (OBI)...I'm actually VERY excited about it and I'm hoping that bunches of folks can make it...I assure you, it'll be lots of fun, and if you aren't familiar with our music, you can check out samples here:

Here's the info for the show:
About the Band
Orkestar Bez Ime [or-KESS-tar behz EE-meh], meaning “orchestra without a name” in Bulgarian, was formed in 2002 to bring Balkan dance music to the Upper Midwest. Since then OBI has performed throughout the US to much critical acclaim. Its members strive to bring you the sounds of the village with a presentation as festive as the music itself. Focusing on Eastern Europe and music of the Rom (Gypsy) people, OBI’s repertoire reaches from Albania to Ukraine, with plenty of stops in between.
About the Opening Act
The Sunny Era is a three piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble that fuses Folk Music, Indie Rock, Middle Eastern, Romani, and Spanish styles. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the group is made up of Eric Stainbrook, who sings and plays classical guitar, electric guitar, and accordion; Laila Stainbrook, who plays violin, clarinet, accordion, piano; and Rob Foehl, who plays an array of percussion instruments.
About the venue
Celtic Junction is a well-respected venue within the Twin Cities Irish music scene and has recently opened its offerings to music representing other parts of the world. In our effort to help encourage a thriving world music scene in Minnesota, we hope not only to promote music from the Balkan region through our own performances, but also to support Celtic Junction’s evolution as a viable world music venue in the Twin Cities.
