Dear Concert Organizer!

 

 

The SPO-DEE-O-DEE group was established by Tamás Szabó and Zoltán Nemes in 1997.  Since our founding, we have been actively performing in local Hungarian clubs as well as abroad and at a variety of music festivals.  We have met with a great deal of challenges over the past eight years.  Our repertoire has been enriched with innumerable performances which involved among others, fashion shows, exhibitions and special background stage music for theatrical performances, as commissioned by different organizers.  Our presence at the different festivals and in clubs here in Hungary and abroad have brought us popularity and a positive reception from the multiple audiences we have played for.  Just to mention the different locations where we have been repeatedly invited back to  . . . are countries like:  Austria, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Holland, Italy, Serbia and Slovenia.

 

Our personal and professional contacts have been established with artists like:

Ian Seagal (UK), Monty Waters (US), Ripoff Raskolnikov (A), Wince Weber (D),

Eric Trauner and Cristian Dozzler (A), Cristian Sandera (A), Big Jay McNeelly (US),

Raw Hide (SCG), Blues Wire (GR) and Bobos Prohaska (SVK).

 

 

Our group's musical profile represents a wealth of sounds from the "boogie-woogie" of the 1930s through today's modern "New Orleans".  Our unique musical world is determined by two dominant instruments: the piano and the harmonica.  Although these musical instruments are rarely used in the music of "Blues", they have proven to offer unending creative possibilities.  Just as a few examples:  Sonny Boy Williamson,Willie Mabon, Sugar Ray Norcia, Carlos Del Junco.

 

 

The SPO-DEE-O-DEE group can offer the following musical formations for performances:

 

Zoltán Nemes (vocals, piano) - his musical repertoire includes his own compositions as well as those of popular New Orleans-style composers.

 

Zoltán Nemes & Tamás Szabó (vocals, harmonica) - our musical repertoire includes our own compositions as well as classic Jazz and "boogie-woogie" works.

 

Zoltán Nemes, Tamás Szabó & Arthur Bálint Kövi (cello) - our musical repertoire includes his own compositions, "light" music and Country-style works.

 

Zoltán Nemes, Tamás Szabó & Gyula Bacsa (piano), Frank Torma (vocals, drums) - our musical repertoire includes our own compositions as well as "boogie-woogie" works.

 

 

SPO-DEE-O-DEE can transfom its profile to accomodate the needs of the client through the complementary addition to our group of a bass player and guitarist so as to create a more unique atmosphere and musical experience for the audience.
