Portland Indie Artists “Nu Shooz Orchestra” Featuring “Pandora’s Box”

Special guest Portland Indie Artists “Nu Shooz Orchestra” Featuring their CD “Pandora’s Box”. You will more than enjoy this extremely talented group Nu Shooz with Valerie Day beautiful vocalist & congas and John Smith guitarist, pianist, and Hammond B-3; they are so versatile and gifted. More than two decades after their 1986 Top Ten Hit single, “I Can’t Wait,” took the world by storm, NU SHOOZ returns with a new album, “Pandora’s Box”, and a 10 piece orchestra Gil Evans would have loved.

Formed in Portland, Oregon in the summer of 1979, their line-up has changed over time, but in all its various forms, they’ve always pushed the boundaries between pop, funk, and jazz. Now, with the release of Pandora’s Box, Portland’s favorite soul explorers take one giant leap for mankind with a brave new sound, combining their signature brand of funk with elements borrowed from Film Noir, ‘60s Spy Movies and even Tarzan. Yes, Tarzan…

NU SHOOZ was nominated for a “Best New Artist” Grammy award in 1987 and earned a Gold Record for the album “Poolside.” Their breakthrough hit, “I Can’t Wait” continues to be played on radio stations around the globe every 11 minutes.

So, sit back relax have a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of wine, enjoy some good conversation & music, and so spread the news. Plus it’s the middle of the week let’s slow things down for a moment…
