ABOUT ABOUT

S.V. Production is pleased to present concert – Rising Stars
Saturday, March 8, at 7 PM

The S.V. Production presents a concert featuring three outstanding groups: Singer/Songwriter Eve Lesov,  The Turbine Toolshed, and The Flying Balalaika Brothers. This event is dedicated to International Women’s Day on March 8th.

Eve Lesov is an amazing singer-songwriter-pianist working out of New York. Eve was born and raised in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, which is subtly reflected in her unique and haunting sound. After her classical music education in Kyrgyzstan, she fronted a prize winning and internationally acclaimed  alternative rock band. Sincemoving to the United States in 2003,  Eve  been active performer in the New York music scene. A pianist, Eve often performs her songs herself.

The Turbine Toolshed first met at weekly Monday night jams at Amarillo’s beautiful Lost Canyon. Each member brings a different genre ---  Folk, Hip-Hop, Bluegrass, Blues, Dance, Music and Texas Country -- to create a remarkable new collective genre and sound to create a memorable audience experience. Despite the band members’ different backgrounds, they agree on one essential thing: keep the audience dancing.

The Flying Balalaika Brothers were originally comprised of two virtuoso native Russian musicians who combined classical training with folk traditions, later joining American musicians to create a unique sound. First established themselves at small festivals (Gilroy Festival, Sawdust Festival, Valencia Street Market, Pecan Street Festival, Music Under the Stars, Kerrville Folk Festival), they  now perform in concert halls around the nation.

This project brings together a remarkable musical collection, Gypsy music, big city rock and West Texas swing, a hot new sound on traditional instruments.

 The City of Austin’s Cultural Arts Division, a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts, and an award from the National Endowment all have helped make this event possible. Join us!
