The Smoota Tête-a-Tête / Moon Radio

A double-bill evening of live music at LunÁtico pairing The Smoota Tête-a-Tête and Moon Radio, who share the same musicians and play together in two sets. The Smoota Tête-a-Tête is a groovy, intimate otherworldly exotica jazz group led by trombonist and composer Dave 'Smoota' Smith, known from his work with TV On The Radio, Run The Jewels, Aaron Neville, Steven Tyler, Valerie June, Burnt Sugar, and Rev. Vince Anderson & The Love Choir. Moon Radio features the collaborative songs of acclaimed singer Julia Haltigan, renowned as one of New York City's best vocalists, evoking jazz greats like Anita O'Day and Peggy Lee and pop icons like Debbie Harry and Brigitte Bardot, with vibraphone wizard Yusuke Yamamoto. After residencies in Brooklyn and Manhattan and multiple tours of Western Mass, both bands will release their debut albums in 2024.
