[Concerts] A summer of triumph !
The
summer and all its numerous happenings – and as many successes –
has established Jerez-Texas’ reputation, as it delivered on stage its
new album ‘Patchwork’. The climax of
the summer tour was the Feria de Julio de Valencia concert.
The trio, accompanied by the four singers performing in Patchwork,
has confirmed its talent on stage. Musicians at the top of their form, a faultless
teamwork, daring improvisations: no doubt the evening left a wonderful memory
with the many music lovers who had the chance to attend.
This top-flight performance has been hailed by Emilio Garrido
(Radio3) as “one of the two best concerts
of the summer 2007 in Spain”.
Photos of this event will be posted soon on www.jereztexas.com.
With its new show running so well, the autumn dates will allow Jerez-Texas
to shine again..
