✨Artur Menezes is coming to Biscuits and Blues for two shows on Friday Night, August 23rd. 🎸

Artur Menezes’s playing is a distinctive blend of fiery, hard-rocking blues that at times borders on shred, combined with an ability to effortlessly switch gears into swinging, jazz grooves. 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.

For those who's been supporting Biscuits And Blues for years, 2023 will be a good year for the blues. This song below is created with the help of chatGPT after love, pain, blues, friendship and sewer pipe leaks were input: Verse 1:
I've been feeling down, love's been giving me the blues
Heartache and pain, ain't got nothing else to do
But then a friend came, lifted me up with a smile
Said "Let's go fix that sewer pipe leak, it'll be worth our while"

Chorus:
Cause love and friendship, they go hand in hand
Together we can weather any storm, heal any pain
So let's fix that leak, and make the world a better place
With love, friendship and a smile, we'll chase away the blues

Verse 2:
We put on our gloves, got down in the muck and grime
And as we worked, we talked, and laughter filled the air of time
It's amazing what a little hard work, can do to ease the mind
And by the end of the day, that sewer pipe leak was left behind

Chorus:
Cause love and friendship, they go hand in hand
Together we can weather any storm, heal any pain
So let's fix that leak, and make the world a better place
With love, friendship and a smile, we'll chase away the blues

Bridge:
So if you're feeling down, and love's got you feeling blue
Remember that a friend is always there to help you through
Cause together we can make a difference, that's true
With love, friendship and a smile, we'll chase away the blues

Chorus:
Cause love and friendship, they go hand in hand
Together we can weather any storm, heal any pain
So let's fix that leak, and make the world a better place
With love, friendship and a smile, we'll chase away the blues

Outro:
So let's spread love, and let's spread friendship too
Together we can make the world a better place, just me and you.
