Fri., March 30 - CHICO MANN & PIERSANTI CLOSING 
We're excited to have Chico Mann performing at Boca Grande for the Piersanti closing on March 30.

"Chico Mann, a time-travelling multi-instrumentalist-producer who with drum machines, synthesizers, and guitars has singlehandedly filled the 30+ year gap between afrobeat, afrocuban, freestyle and electronic music while throwing a wrench into the cogs of musical history. Chico Mann has created a musical time machine that simultaneously fuses the sounds of 1970s Afrobeat, 1980s Freestyle and Afro Cuban in a hybrid beast of culture and tone. Its the big 'what if' Freestyle, Afrobeat & Afro Cuban converged and hit the mainstream for an army of Chicos to pick up where Stevie B, TKA, George Lamond, Sa-Fire, Information Society, Noel, and Cult Jam, and Exposé left off. Chico's choruses of multi-layered vocals with funky guitar lines helps to cool off the heat created between the bass and rhythm... creating a unique conversation of color and value that pays homage to the past but raises the bar for the future."

Previously known for his editorial work, Jersey City artist Robert Piersanti has eschewed most of his commercial work, and for nearly 10 years has been painting full time, with shows from Manhattan to Jersey City, to Miami to Milan. His commercial work can be seen in the New Yorker magazine, as well as on CD packaging and book jackets.

The paintings that will be on display at Boca starting this Friday are large scale portraits of local Jersey City women that illustrate his love of contemporary pop culture and rock and roll. See some of them here: http://www.piersantistudios.com/

While you're here checking out the art, we invite you to stay for a complimentary RustRidge wine tasting, hosted by Jim Fresquez, to mark this wonderful wine's addition to Boca's menu.
