Welcome to Passion for Tango!
Dynamic guitar duo Corbett and Lauchbaum (Jason and Steve) closed out the opening day of our festival this summer.
Their hot tango and sizzling flamenco kept everyone warm as the evening got chilly. I vowed to bring them back to our first fall event since they and the audience were short-changed by a cold breeze that crept in as the sun set that Friday. Despite difficult conditions to play in people were amazed by their virtuosity, some who had never heard tango before told me they were turned on to tango by this performance alone.
