Robert Bruce's 'Blues Hologram' Debut Concert to Play at Art Gallery Of Hamilton

Tanenbaun Pavilion will be the first public presentation of this highly-polished group's most intriguing musical style and sound - combined with their unique format of performing each song or musical composition to a specially-produced short film. Certainly one of the most striking aspects of their multimedia concert performance is how seamlessly integrated the music and visuals are and how they together create a very tangible singular effect.

The vocal duets in particular are a must to experience, as the voices of classically-trained Amy Dodington and the earthy gospel-infused style of Martina Aswani weave and blend together in ways that create a unique and highly unified sound that perfectly complements and brings to life the songs of composer Robert Bruce. Bruce's songs in themselves perfectly lend themselves to this very ensemble and presentation format as they are primarily classical-leaning songs that were largely conceived from the basic blues elements he grew up with and learned through 60s and 70s rock/pop music, and also not to mention that his music has always been noted - and widely used - for its overall very pronounced visual or cinematic character.

Although the June 6 concert which will feature the group's elegant and hauntingly beautiful vocal duets and solos and several reflective piano interludes, is Blues Hologram's first, they have recorded already - including 4 songs that are featured in Robert Bruce's first full-length feature film "Love Bonds" which is now in the final stages of post-production and will be premiering in the coming months.

Blues Hologram is: Robert Bruce, composer/pianist; Martina Aswani, mezzo-soprano; and Amy Dodington, soprano - will be joined on June 6 by Hamilton percussionist Dave Simpson, who has performed and recorded with Robert Bruce many times since 2008.
