-RICK VERAS PRESENTS / THE HEARTLAND CAFE, CHICAGO IL
Versatility and adaptability in a group of artists/entertainers are virtues enough to a university presenter, but add to those qualities virtuosity, intelligence, experience, and charisma, and top this mix off with sure-re audience connectivity and downright like ability, and there you have itThese folks can play anything, it seems, and they move gracefully through idioms youd never thought one band could cover in one circuitand it doesnt hurt that youve never met a nicer or more user-friendly group of folks to work with, either. But after-show-glow really tells it all; on our campus, as the last chords lingered, the mesmerized students moved, en masse, to the stage to mingle, adore, and bask in the magic [they] had created that night. We are converts/acolytes/fans here in Wausau, Wisconsin, and wherever you are, you should be too!
