| Downtown Thursdays Presents Live The Liza Colby Sound & Nina Et Cetera at McLevy Green in Downtown Bridgeport.
The Liza Colby Sound:
Hailing from the Lower East Side, seven years strong, The Liza Colby Sound is a trio of tough players that produce a sweet sound with enough bite to match Liza Colby’s mega-watt voice.Think Tina Turner fronting Led Zeppelin. The result is a gritty, sexy, garage rock explosion that echoes with a ’70s sound surrounding you with a bluesy, soul, finish.
http://thelizacolbysound.com/
Nina Et Cetera:
The genesis of the band is to be found in the fact that Nina began studying guitar and singing at the age of 7 with her current bass player Tim. That was, 21 years ago. Since then Nina has studied at Berklee College of Music and has played in numerous bands. Although Tim is primarily an autodidact he did study North Indian vocal music for a number of years in New Delhi and managed a few semesters of music theory at Long Island University. In addition to performing Nina and Tim also teach privately.
When they are not on the road they are writing and recording in a manner that combines the best of old and new technologies. Nina Et cetera has been performing professionally for the past 10 years in just about every imaginable venue across the Tri-State area; bars, restaurants, libraries, street fairs, assisted livings, bandshells, busking, vineyards, etc.
