Alla Boara

Alla Boara celebrates the deep history of human music-making by cultivating fresh  sounds from the ancient roots of regional Italian folk songs. Vocalist Amanda  Powell’s captivating delivery is propelled by drummer Anthony Taddeo’s dynamic  compositions, “breathing new possibilities into timeless stories while weaving in  limitless and unexpected musical flavors” (Becca Stevens, GRAMMY-nominated  singer/songwriter). The songs, near extinct in the wild, are presented here with a  modern-jazz sensibility performed by guitarist Dan Bruce, trumpeter Tommy  Lehman, bassist Ian Kinnaman, and accordionist/keyboardist Mark Micchelli. The  ensemble’s debut recording “Le Tre Sorelle” was praised by Cleveland Magazine for  its “top-notch musicianship.” The band has received critical acclaim from NPR’s  “Shuffle”, SWR2 in Germany, All About Jazz, Jazz Weekly, and Cleveland Magazine.  From the specific dialects, stories, and songs of Italy’s pre-industrial past spring  Alla Boara’s universally touching performances which inspire listeners of any  heritage to treasure their ancestral roots and to revel in our shared humanity – as  surprising, playful, mournful, and tender as the songs themselves.
