Subject: End of Fest gigs - ALI BROS, MATIZADO & CRUZAO Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2005 14:10:26 -0400 From: The BROWNMAN Organization: Brownman Music Inc. -- http://www.brownman.com To: Brownman's Big Ass Mailing List Hey guys and a big welcome to all who are new to the Big Ass Mailing List. Another fantastic Toronto Jazz Festival comes to a close over the next 3 day and 3 of my groups - ALI BROS w/ Enlight & Phatt Al (tonight - Fri July 1), my salsa band MARRON MATIZADO (Sat July 2) and the award-winning latin-jazz-urban CRUZAO (Sun July 3) will perform in those next 3 days, hopefully you can make it out. And remember - those on the mailing list can get into tonight's ALI BROS Canada Day performance for 1/2 price ($5)... it may be too late to email Sebastian at this point to get on the list - but he'll let anyone in for 1/2 price who shows up at the door saying "on the Big Ass Mailing List", though he may insist on the phrasing "I'm a big ass guest, now lemme in". Here's some details: ======================================================== Fri Jul 01 - The Lula Lounge in conjuntion with the Toronto Jazz 10pm Festival proudly present - "Symphony of Vibe" ALI BROS feat.
