On August 4, the project “Shipsea”, in which Jānis Šipkēvics, Miķelis Putniņš and Rūdolfs Macats will perform, will give a summer season concert in the Kalnciems quarter.
The colorful trio of musicians will perform new music created by Jānis Šipkēvics, which has been created outside the repertoire of the group “Instruments”. “Shipsea” is a project created in 2015 by singer, composer and co-founder of the group “Instruments” Jānis Šipkēvics. The debut mini-album “Shipsea” was released as a solo work, and a series of sold-out Šipkēvics solo concerts took place in KK von Strick’s villa and in the regions of Latvia.
Currently, Jānis Šipkēvics and like-minded people Miķelis Putniņš and Rūdolfs Macats have started work on the new album of the project “Shipsea”, which will see the light of day at the end of this year. Visitors to the Kalnciems quarter concert will have a unique opportunity to be one of the first to listen to the music material of the upcoming album. The concert will also feature the already known Šipkēvics solo compositions “For Your Roads”, “Mežaparks”, “Other Names”, etc.
“I am very happy to perform in Kalnciems quarter, because, in my opinion, this place is always like a sovereign festival that embodies a beautiful, meaningful joy – the joy of life; so to speak, a celebration of life! ” says Schipevich. “I am also happy to be able to play my music and tell my life that I have experienced in the last five years in this concert. It is music that is very important to me, it is a personal adventure, but with a lot of joy and sun in it. I am also delighted to have the opportunity to perform with Miķelis Putniņš and Rūdolfs Macats, because this trio is a wonderful find in my musical life. ”
