"...Roberts is a sensitive, articulate pianist, with depth and range. Her playing is laced with intense, freshly-voiced chordal passages. Her singing is delicate and breathy or worldly adn sultry in accordance with the mood..." -- Downbeat

"...blessed with an irrepressible musical imagination as well as the technique to give it life, Roberts stands as a first-rate Jazz singer..." ?-- Chicago Tribune

?"...at the piano she smiles and her joy is obvious. The smile isn't forced and it isn't faked. Roberts isn't faking it. She is simply a woman in love with her work." -- Los Angeles Times

Brazilian Jazz / Bossa Nova

Luciano's performance takes the audience on a tour of Brazil by presenting a wide variety of Brazilian compositions combined with his own originals. In his Performance Luciano contrasts songs that have rich and complex harmonies and melodies with simple rhythms against songs that have simple harmonies and melodies with very complex rhythms, and the dynamics range from pure solo guitar and voice to the full sound of the rich Brazilian percussion in a fascinating musical way. Luciano released two albums of original music "Vida De Artista - An Artist's Life" in 2011 and ?Sem Palavras ? Without Words? in 2015 . Make no mistake; Luciano has placed his stamp on the Brazilian music scene in Chicago.

Short Bio:

Luciano was born into a musical family on January 3, 1969 in rural Iretama, Parana, Brazil?s southern region. From this melodiously rich environment, he learned first how to sing with his mom, Luiza Maria. He further developed his vocal abilities through his maternal grandparents, who performed for local live radio shows and paternal grandparents, who harmonized beautifully. By age 14, he took the violão (acoustic guitar) as a self taught instrument, focusing his repertoire on Brazilian Folk and Bossa Nova (Brazilian Jazz). He continued his pursuit of technical development through the study of classical guitar at the age of 17, attending several guitar symposiums, work shops and master classes under one of Brazil?s most respected professors, Henrique Pinto. Luciano?s music journey next led him to the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) where he received a bachelor?s degree in music performance. While at UMKC full-time, he was invited to join Chicago Samba (a Chicago based Brazilian music group) and commuted weekly between Kansas City and Chicago to make ends meet. After successfully completing his education at UMKC, he relocated to Chicago where he has since established himself as a performing artist. Luciano has collaborated with many great fellow artists: playing acoustic guitar on John Goldman?s ?For All the People?, vocals on Matt Geraghty?s ?Mozaic?, arranging/co-producing, and performing on the recent release ?Samba Mundo? by St. Louis based Samba Bom, serving as lead vocalist and guitarist with the Evanston Orquestra de Samba which connects classical music with Brazilian rhythms and harmonies, and performing throughout the Chicago Jazz scene as a soloist. Other engagements include opening performances for Caetano Veloso, Vinicius Cantuaria, Virginia Rodrigues, performances for the Chicago Mayor?s Office of Special Events, The Democratic Convention of 2004, Jakarta Internacional Jazz Festival in 2007, Bright Future International Festival in Sochi, Russia in 2013, and several commercial releases throughout the Mid-west. Luciano released in 2011 "Vida de Arista - An Artist's Life" an album of original music, and his most recent accomplishments are: the release of his second album of original music "Sem Palavras - Without Words", and tours in Italy and China. Luciano also plays classical guitar for weddings, churches, social events and private functions.

Have A Cigar, Chicago leading Pink Floyd tribute, is in their second year of wowing audiences with flawlessly accurate audio & visual representations of their heroes--Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason & Richard Wright. Leaning heavily to the albums Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals & The Wall, the musical mission of these six seasoned local musicians is to painstakingly reproduce your favorite Floyd tunes start-to-finish with a fun interactive flourish with the audience, making them part of the show as well.

The British Invasion was a Pop culture phenomena between 1964-1965 when musical groups from the UK, following the Beatles over to the USA, started selling lots of records. But to those who lived here it was much more than that. Because the sophisticated style, the clothes, the accents and yes the music was bold and different and exotically foreign! Dave Steffen, Jay Groeppner and the Class of 68 capture the essence of a time when British rock groups dominated the airwaves here at home! The Dave Clark 5, Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas, The Kinks in their Edwardian suit coats, The Animals and so many more changed what Americans listened to and how we thought, dressed and lived!
