Juliana Areias has performed on major stages around the world, including the Sydney Opera House, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, the Green Room in New York, and Rio’s legendary Beco das Garrafas – where bossa nova was born.
Her acclaimed original album Bossa Nova Baby won Best Brazilian Album at the US Focus Brazil Awards and reached the US Top 100 Jazz Charts. A five-time Western Australian Music Awards nominee, her music was considered “the changing face of Australian music” by ABC Radio National and praised as “excelling in elegance” by The Australian in its four-star review.
For this exclusive concert, Areias is excited to welcome award-winning guitarist Ridge Moss to share the stage with the beating heart of her dream band, joining Paul Millard (sax/flute), Bronton Ainsworth (drums), and Rafael Medeiros de Souza (percussion).
