His Brazilian roots add a unique flavor to the mix and further distinguish his playing from that of his contemporaries. Menezes' songwriting sparkles as it switches between straight-ahead blues and funk-flavored workouts, and his vocals channel the deep emotional content of his songs as effectively as his guitar playing. Fading Away, Menezes' latest album (produced by Josh Smith and featuring a guest appearance from Joe Bonamassa), was a serious step up in both writing and playing. Its arrival laid down a clear marker for his place among the front-runners of the new breed of blues guitar heroes. Based in Los Angeles, CA, Artur is releasing new music in 2023 with Black Hill Records. \n \nFading Away (2020), Menezes' latest album was produced by Josh Smith and features Joe Bonamassa.* 2023 Top 21 Best New Blues Guitarists by GuitarPlayer Magazine.* Has performed on global tours with and supported Buddy Guy, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Eric Clapton, etc. \n \nWebsite | Insta| Music | Facebook \nFeaturing Special Guest MilesbandanaFacebook Instagram Music \nAnxiety MonsterWebsite \nSoul Miners Union \nWebsite END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
