The group “Very Cool People” together with the singer Aija Andrejeva has announced a joint concert, which will take place on April 9 next year at the legendary Liepāja Theater. The concert will feature the powerful Woodstock Renaissance program, which will feature listeners with the best of Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix and Jim Morrison in a new soundtrack.
The group “Very Cool People” has created modern and exciting arrangements of songs by Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix and Jim Morrison with Aija Andrejeva, which listeners have had the opportunity to see already in the pre-pandemic era. The Woodstock Renaissance was created as a tour of the history of popular music. Along with Aija, the owner of the strong voice, “VCP” trombonist Laura Rozenberga, also sings in the concert program.
“We met Elvie last summer and we had an irresistible feeling that the Woodstock Renaissance must be heard over and over again,” recalls Aija. “Both also had a complete feeling that Liepāja and Liepāja Theater are the right place for this program to take place. It just fits there! The most special thing about this program is that it will never become obsolete. The tooth of time only makes it more beautiful and valuable. And my greatest happiness is to perform it with such colossal musicians as “Very Cool People”! ”
The very cool people will perform in the concert: Oskars Ozoliņš – trumpet, Māris Jēkabsons – tenor saxophone, Laura Rozenberga – trombone, vocals, Kristaps Lubovs – baritone saxophone, Elvijs Grafcovs – guitar, Māris Vitkus – keys, Jekis Buik – drums. “In general, we really like Liepāja,” Elvijs Grafcovs, the band’s steering wheel and guitarist, does not hide. “Whenever we perform in Liepaja, there is a fantastic audience. In festivals, concert halls and clubs. We also have a lot of choma musicians in the wind city, and they always come to concerts or join the afterlife. Therefore, our group has a saying: “What happens in Liepaja stays in Liepaja.”
Tickets are already available at aula.lv. By the way, when buying tickets until the New Year, each visitor will also receive a gift of “Very Cool People” in CD format and Aija Andrejeva’s latest album with a signature.
