Performers:
This unique multicultural ensemble has Russian, Armenian, Jewish, Italian, Brazilian, German, Argentinean and Kazakh roots. Three of the band members are immigrants from the former USSR and the rest were born in the United States. Andreyushka Chervona Pitersky Tёmkin - vocal and guitar, brings his rocking attitude from the original Russian Punk Rock Extravaganza band MiruMir! (Peace to the World!) and his passion for old world folk songs. Ramon Ramonoff – classically trained tuba and guitar/bass veteran from Moscow, Russia. He has played in many folk and rock groups back in his country and is also a member of MiruMir! Andrew Alickhanov – clarinet virtuoso from a famous Moscow musical family. Brings the hot-blooded gypsy flavor and heart stopping solos. Anton Van Oosbree – multitalented accordion/trumpet player, has yodeled through German restaurants and plans to polka his way to the top. Adam Schneider – amazingly powerful trombonist with a buttery sweet tone from the Virgin Islands and a graduate of a very respectable New York music school. Tomass DeAlameida – Brazilian drummer with eccentric stage presence and phenomenal beat boxing ability.
