September 25 Concert/Cabaret Premier: The Love You Take Diego and The Soulz of Rhythm, along with his special guest Cici Gramer, will premier “The Love You Take” at The Red Barn Theatre in Saugatuck, Michigan,on Saturday, September 25, 2010 at 8:00pm. This original cabaret style show takes you through a high-spirited journey of love found and lost. Diego, has performed as front man for De Ja Kool, Blind Ride, Hard Drive, The Goodfellas, Holland Swing, and, currently, the Soulz of Rhythm - even opening for national recording acts, like the Spinners. His smooth vocal stylings and versatility have led newspaper reviewers to dub him “The Cuban Sam Cooke”. His performances exhibit influences of Cooke, Elvis, Bobby Darin, Sam and Dave, Tom Jones, Jay Black, and Tony Orlando. Diego also works as a screen writer and freelance model, with film and commercial credits. Cici has been performing in venues from the cabaret stage to the concert hall since the age of 3. Her command of the stage, vocal versatility and sense of humor have made her one of the most sought-after and celebrated performers in the Mid-West. A multiple award-winning actress, she enjoys working in opera and musical theater alike. Opera Grand Rapids, Actors Theatre, The Bijou Orchestra, and the Holland Symphony Orchestra are just a few of the local organizations that enjoy working with Cici. Her cabaret shows stand among the best in the region, and she is a working freelance model and film/commercial talent in the Grand Rapids, Holland, Chicago and L.A. markets. The Soulz of Rhythm bring a healthy mix of Soul, R&B, Funk, Swing, and Rock ‘n Roll to Michigan’s music scene. The Soulz’ songs include many classic R&B/Soul hits, but also 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, Rock ‘n Roll, Funk, and Swing. They love the horn lines in many of these songs, but when the song is purely Rock & Roll, the horn players will sing background vocals and add a little Rhythm of their own. Some of their musical choices border on what might seem obscure, songs that were not always the "A" side of the record but great songs nonetheless. And when The Soulz of Rhythm places its own twist on these songs, they come alive all over again!
