Artur Menezes

Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts, 1905 Kentucky Ave, Winter Park

The fabulous guitarist for the Blues Beatles, Artur Menezes, is returning to Blue Bamboo with his own group!

Winner of the 2019 Ernie Ball and Eric Clapton PLAY Crossroads contest, Gibson/Albert King Award for Best Guitarist by the Blues Foundation and 3rd place at the International Blues Challenge 2018, Artur Menezes is an indie artist taking the blues rock scene by storm! As a highly energetic guitarist, singer and songwriter, Art impresses the crowds with his feeling and showmanship. Although very much influenced by blues, he crosses genres with psychedelic rock, funk and brazilian rhythms such as “baião”, creating his own voice and sound, which has been attracting younger audiences and helping to keep the blues alive.

Based in Los Angeles, the Brazilian artist is making his name playing around U.S., promoting his latest album “Keep Pushing” (4th album) and his new single / music video “Fight for Your Love”.
