Jean Sudbury and Ruben Ramos will perform music from their newest CD, "Connexion Eclectique" a collection of musical styles from around the globe. Latin, French, Italian, and Brazilian music mixed with Americana roots.

These two professional musicians combine varied experience in life and music, creating a new style, The Eclectic Connection. The music is refreshingly original, yet traditional.

Jean Sudbury is a consummate violinist and mandolinist who offers an eclectic variety of music when she performs. She plays contemporary and classical music and loves the challenges of improvising and interpreting the music of the great masters. Her solo and section work includes concerts with small ensembles and big orchestras, recordings for TV and movies, and many compact disc collaborations with independent artists and composers. She has been featured soloist on violin and mandolin with the Utah Symphony, the Pacific Symphony, the American Ballet Theater Orchestra, and other noted ensembles. She has performed at such places as the Universal Amphitheater, the Greek Theater, the Disney Hall, the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, Warner Brother's Studios, Capitol Records, Sony Studios, the Cicada Club, the Hollywood Bowl, and on the Tonight Show.

'...infinitely expressive and technically dazzling,' (L.A. Times,) Jean's music is a unique collection of life experiences.

Ruben Ramos is an accomplished guitarist and bassist who has played worldwide alongside his home base in the Los Angeles area for all his life. Ruben has worked with The Ten Tenors from Australia, Jim Stubblefield of the group Incendio (Flamenco), Eddie Money, Mike Gurley of the band Dada, Luis Bonilla (New York jazz trombonist with the Mingus Band, The Lincoln Center Orchestra and Marc Anthony). David Hasslehoff, Patty Andrews, Bea Arthur, Burliegh Drummond (Ambrosia and Tin Drum). Ruben has performed at venues including The San Diego Civic center, Historic Dayton Ohio Victoria Theater, Catalina Jazz Club, The Hollywood Bowl, The Wiltern, Alex Theater Glendale.

This duo is a culmination of passion for the styles of music they both love. Their music represents a wide palette of styles including, Latin, French, Italian, Americana, and their own mixtures created in their own original compositions done with passion and romance.

The Haunted Windchimes

Concert at 8:00 p.m.
Suggested Donation $15.00

First Appearance in the SCV!
{>}The Haunted Windchimes sound draws from traditional folk and American roots music. The songs have a vintage quality, as if they might have been written yesterday or 75 years ago. Grounded in honeyed harmonies and spirited pickin’, it lies in a nowhere land between distinct styles: It’s not quite bluegrass or blues or country. Still, there are elements of all those in songs that paint pictures of empty train stations and nights of passing a jug of moonshine around.

It’s the vocal harmonies that really set them apart, a three-headed juggernaut of Desirae Garcia (ukulele), Chela Lujan (banjo) and Inaiah Lujan (guitar). “When their voices blend, it is nothing short of beautiful,” writes Bill Reed of  The Colorado Springs Gazette. The sound is often moody and melancholy, but it is always deeply affecting. That sound is embroidered by the instrumental mastery of Mike Clark (harmonica, guitar and mandolin) and the standup bass foundation of Sean Fanning. On the group’s 2006 debut EP “Verse/Visa”, The Haunted Windchimes presented what Denver Post journalist, Eryc Eyl, called “a beautiful chamber pop sound.” However, with 2010’s “Honey Moonshine,” the band “perfected an old-timey hoedown sound, executed with passion and precision.” Last May, the band released “Live at the Western Jubilee,” a celebration of its career so far. Recorded in December 2010 at the Western Jubilee Warehouse, a legendary Colorado Springs venue, the record’s 13 tracks capture the five musicians in peak form in front of an appreciative audience.

 Here's what others are saying!

“Popular among the grey hairs, green hairs, purple hairs and all over.”
- Garrison Keilor, A Prairie Home Companion

"They recreate the vibe of rural 1930s music with a contemporary consciousness. The rustic, honeyed harmonies are a delight."
- Bruce Sylvester, Sing Out! Magazine

"the band perfected an old-timey hoedown sound, executed with passion and precision."
- Eric Eyl, Reverb (Denver Post Blog)

"Traditional, old-timey backwoods, backporch music that burrowed its way into your head and then refused to budge."
- The Mad Mackerel (UK Music Blog)

"Grounded in honeyed harmonies and spirited pickin’, it lies in a nowhere land between distinct styles."
-Tracy Mobley-Martinez,The Colorado Springs Gazette

"The Haunted Windchimes might be Pueblo’s best export since steel, and they’re certainly one of the finest roots outfits on the Front Range. "
-Bill Reed,The Gazette
