MICHALIS KONTOVOURKIS (CY)
Thursday, August 1st / Fengaros 2019
Michalis Kontovourkis, accompanied by his charismatic band, rocks us with songs from his much talked-about first solo album "From the Beginning". With his group of gifted musicians Michalis takes us on a rocking jaunt mixing classic and contemporary genres (blues, jazz and folk), to cook up his very own individual vibe and sound. The album showcases Kontovourkis' undeniable skill as vocalist, lyricist and composer in a set of original, autobiographical works cannily arranged and produced. The result is a batch of refreshingly well-crafted songs by a band that sounds like they've been gigging together since they met at kindergarten. Line-up is: Michalis Kontovourkis on guitar and lead vocal, Mike Nicolaou on lead guitar, Nikolas Fournaris on bass, Stefanos Eliopoulos on drums, Duncan McCowan on harmonica and percussion and Elias Ioannou on trumpet.
