PRIMARY COLORS — JAZZ & BLUES with ELEMENTS OF SOUL, POP & LATIN
This duo is the perfect vehicle for showcasing Nate Pruitt’s astonishing vocal versatility. With his smooth, rich baritone, he is one of the finest male jazz singers on the scene, a vocalist with seemingly infinite emotional resources who can improvise horn-like scat lines, croon with soulful conviction and deliver blues with total authority. Rick Vandivier is a guitarist who has found inspiration in influences that stretch from Andres Segovia
to Pat Metheny to Jimi Hendrix. His performances are daring, soulful, and evocative.
