I have a new project: the Don Samaniego Trio!
Don Samaniego is a versatile vocalist with a rich, captivating baritone and delivery.
I’ve been working with Don for several months now, helping him develop and polish his repertoire and pull together musicians to accompany him.
He has quite a voice! –that I know folks will be impressed with — and a bunch of the tunes are rare gems you won’t hear anywhere else.
We play songs in styles including:
- swing jazz (Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin),
- vintage country (Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, Ray Price)
- 50s/60s pop (Ray Charles, E. Humperdinck, Elton John)
- heartfelt ballads (Matt Munro, Henry Mancini),
- and classic Boleros and tangos sung in Spanish!
In the trio, Don is accompanied by:
- myself on the baby grand piano, and
- Jan Reimers (Bluegrass & Beyond) on the electric bass.
