Leny Andrade -- April 14, 2012
Leny Andrade
Leny Andrade is considered the "Queen of the Bossa Nova" and was dubbed by Tony Bennett as "the Ella Fitzgerald of Brazil." This Grammy-winning singer of Brazilian music effortlessly combines the rhythms and sounds of Samba, Bossa Nova and jazz.
Born in Rio De Janeiro, Andrade's career has taken her across the world to perform alongside some of the most famous musicians and singers.
Andrade will appear with the American Metropole Orchestra, an ensemble with strong WOU ties that will premiere all new orchestrations of Andrade's favorite standards.
Asleep at the Wheel -- June 8, 2012
Asleep at the Wheel
The band Asleep at the Wheel is known as the nine-time Grammy winning "Kings of Texas swing."
The Austin-based septet was founded 40 years ago and plays a mix of Western-swing, boogie and roots music -- and has churned out more than 25 albums.
In 2009, the group collaborated with Willie Nelson for the album "Willie and the Wheel." That successful effort was followed by a tour and double-bill show on PBS's "Austin City Limits." Asleep at the Wheel actually appeared in the very first regular episode of that television program.
