The Webb Sisters
Hattie e Charley they return to Soave to give us even more great emotions!
I admired them for the first time at the concert that Leonard Cohen held a few years ago in the Verona Arena. It was the 24 September 2012. There I saw and heard this marvel of sound, voice and elegance that are The Webb Sisters. John Jorgenson told me about it, but I didn't imagine that I would come out of our amphitheater bewitched by such beauty.
I have to say a heartfelt thank you to John who last year, collected my desire to bring these two great artists to Soave, he told them about the festival and convinced them to be with us, accompanied by Andrea Resce, Hattie's husband and excellent bass player, which in this edition will also cheer us up with the music of the Corde Sciolte duo, together with guitarist Nunzio Ferro.
Thanks again, caro John!
