The Charlottesville Jazz Society and WTJU Present Eric Vloeimans and Will Holshouser

On Thursday evening September 15th at 7:30 pm, The Charlottesville Jazz Society is pleased to welcome back Dutch trumpeter Eric Vloeimans to Charlottesville. For this unique event, Eric will perform as part of a duo with the remarkable accordionist Will Holshouser, who performed in Charlottesville recently with the Victory Hall Opera Company. Eric and Will are on an American tour promoting their new live album Two For The Road. The concert will be held at the new Irving Theater, 225 West Water Street, in the CODE building on the downtown mall.

Eric and Will play evocative, folk-inspired original compositions that mix European and American influences, plus a few choice covers, such as a ballad by Prince. These two virtuoso musicians use the intimacy of the duo setting to full effect: lush trumpet and accordion textures, catchy melodies, and energetic improvising abound. With elements of jazz, chamber, and world music, this pair is hard to classify.

“Vloeimans’ expressive, astonishingly nuanced playing is present and accounted for here, In Holshouser’s hands, the accordion functions almost like a portable B3.” (Musically Speaking, Netherlands)
