Event

Fishtank Ensemble

Arena Theater proudly presents an evening with Fishtank Ensemble. The band will introduce new songs from their CD "Edge of the World" expected to be released this spring following their hugely successful "Woman in Sin".

Fishtank Ensemble is a leading world music band from California that includes two explosive violins, the world's best slap bass player, musical saw, flamenco and gypsy jazz guitar, opera, jazz and gypsy vocals, and one little banjolele. Tackling everything from French hot jazz to wild Serbian and Transylvanian gypsy anthems, Flamenco, and oddball originals, Fishtank Ensemble is a not to be missed event for world music lovers!

Formed in 2005, the dynamic, virtuosic, fiery and peripatetic quartet take their roots both from their own varied musical and national backgrounds, as well as from their adventures and travels.
The singer Ursula sang opera on the streets and town squares of Italy, until she found a love of gypsy music...their French violinist voyaged around all of Europe in a handmade mule-drawn caravan for ten years, collecting music and experiences. Their Serbian bass player has spent time playing with gypsies as well as some of the rock and roll's legends, and aptly defends his reputation as the best slap bass player in the world... and the guitarist is a master of flamenco and gypsy jazz guitar who honed his craft in the gypsy caves of Granada, Spain... Whatever wild time you can expect from this band, it will never match their out of this world performance!
The Arena Theater bar and snack stand will be open.
