Lechuga Fresca was born from a love of Latin music. We delight in playing mambo, classic salsa, and Latin jazz. Our audiences respond to our enthusiasm and the infectious rhythms by dancing, bopping, clapping and otherwise grooving to the feel-good music we present.

I try to go narrow and deep with my music. I think it comes out in the way I play accordion.
Highlights of the past 20 years include performing solo electronic music in ten countries, playing with the School of Honk brass band in countless unanounced parades through Somerville, and gigging with my sax/melodica/accordion trio, Brocade*. My latest passion is the traditional music of southeastern Europe (the Balkans) learning to play it on accordion. I'll be sitting in my house Saturday, playing some music from those parts, plus a bit of dance music from elsewhere in the world,.

It’s hard to know what to say about The Impromptus. That’s because the band is You. You’ll select the instruments and the style and guide your high-strung but friendly virtual musicians through their performance. While you’re at it, you’ll choreograph an animated visual artwork that echoes the (presumably ingenious) music flowing from your fingertips.

Boston-based group Juan Carlos Ruiz & Friends play a lively blend of Venezuelan and Latin American folk music. The band is influenced heavily by members’ music education experiences at Berklee College of Music, drawing from styles including jazz, hard-bop, and classical. When the band recently played a Nibble event, a spontaneous dance party erupted; expect the same at ArtBeat!
