If you're in town and looking for something fun to do, coming up in Vail on Wednesday, February 21, the music of Julien Labro and Olli Soikkeli will be playing their swinging gypsy jazz in the tradition of Django Reinhardt. Finnish guitarist Olli plays with blistering speed, and French accordionist Julien with masterful technique. Together they bring the exhilarating, smoking hot gypsy jazz sound to life as they play classic repertoire and rich originals alike. The show will take place at Ludwig’s Terrace in the Sonnenalp Hotel in Vail, first seating is at 6:00pm (doors open 5:30pm) and second seating is at 8:30pm (doors open 8:00pm).
