Hi Everybody 

Please join us in a great new venue for excellent live music. This is an intro night for Zrazy to join in on and then create a new full concert gig for the following week.

Tues June 21 from 8.30pm. Zrazy plays 10.30pm 

Underground Wonder Bar is located at 650 N Dearborn St.

This is an impromptu stop-in to Loni Walker's highly recommended music venue and her Pro-Jam night starting at 8.30pm. Loni performs her own set first  then opens the Pro-Jam with the Lorna Boston Band at 10.30pm when Zrazy joins in. We will perform some songs and then plan a full gig night for the following week - either Mon June 27 or Sat July 2.
This is an exciting new opportunity for Zrazy to play a new venue in Chicago.

Hi Everybody

We're delighted to say that at long long last we're going to make it back over to the States and are in the process of putting together a tour. This all came about a little unexpectedly so it's quite short notice. And we need your help.

We are playing on Fri July 1 at the National Womens Music Festival in Madison WI on main stage.

As we've become more than a little out of touch with the music scene over there we'd really like to ask your help with any ideas of venues, festivals and the contact people with their emails.

The period we're looking at is in the region of June 23 - to possibly July 10 or 17. And it can be anywhere in the States. We're open to all options.

Thanks so much for any input to this. At the very least we'll manage some more dates in the Midwest region.

Look forward to hearing from any of you with your thinking caps on.

Hi Everyone

A quick piece of news re Carole doing a solo show on March 3 in Dublin. See the details below. Hope you can come along.

Best known for her multi award-winning work with Zrazy, pianist, saxophonist and songwriter Carole Nelson will be performing her beautifully crafted songs with the help of Billy McGlynn on bass, Dominic McMullen on drums plus special guests.

This is a rare opportunity to hear Carole sing her newest songs, as she moves through her take on love, death, childhood and growing older - if not wiser.

“The art of sophisticated songwriting is alive and well and living in Ireland.” Muse Magazine

Seasons Greetings to you All and may we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone of All persuasion!

Here is a little something for your enjoyment with apologies to Hosanna in the Highest.
Meanwhile peace and much love -  We frequently forget  -  we all need each other - Duh!

xx Maria and Carole
