CN FLASH! HAPPY HOUR! SAVE THE DATE: Thursday, October 10th starting 7pm Where: Saloon 79 at Rua Pinheiro Guimarães 79, Botafogo What: The American Roots Project with River Country The American Roots Project, designed to showcase traditional American music in Rio de Janeiro’s live music scene, is the brainchild of performers from Rock in Rio 2011 who were part of Rock Street, including Peter Warner and Steve Yolen, both of whom are former Presidents of the American Society Rio. As performers, they are well known to the many hundreds of people who have shown up at the Society’s annual America’s Day events, where the River Country Trio has been a featured attraction. The trio has become a quartet with another American musician joining in, so it now goes by the name River Country, and it’s the anchor for the American Roots Project, where fans can get a regular shot of rhythm ’n’ blues, as well as gospel, folk, classic country, Tex-Mex, rockabilly, bluegrass, newgrass, country jazz, folk-rock, and…well, you get the picture. Saloon 79, whose proprietor Tony Rocker (could he have a more perfect name than that?), has decorated his establishment as an American-style bar and grill that showcases the best in live American music, five nights a week, and has American style food as well. For the American Society Happy Hour, Tony has agreed to give AmSoc members discount prices, and has coaxed River Country into an early show. Of course, those who want to stick around for the regular show, starting at 9pm, are more than welcome to do so, and to get even more of River Country and American Roots music. If you’re planning on attending, please RSVP to: events.amsoc@gmail so we can tell Tony how many of us will be there.
