Folk singer/songwriter Lui Collins has been performing, writing and recording for
50 years, earning international acclaim for her music. Her clear voice and
engaging presence on stage remain to this day as vibrant as ever. Her repertoire,
accompanied on tenor ukulele and banjo, ranges from original and traditional
folk songs and American standards to bossa nova in the original Brazilian
Portuguese. Lui has shared the stage with such notables as Tom Rush, Bonnie
Raitt, and Stan Rogers. Renowned guitarist Dave van Ronk called her “one of
the best guitarist-arrangers I have heard in years.”
Lui will be joined by guitarist/Grammy-nominated producer and longtime
collaborator, Anand Nayak. Immersed in music at an early age, and building on
years of classical piano, Anand turned to the guitar as a teenager, teaching
himself to play anything and everything he could. An equal love for acoustic and
electric music kept him stylistically open in those formative years, creating a
foundation for a unique ability to play with and enhance the music of a wide
variety of musicians.
Lui and Anand’s nearly two decades of creative collaboration are evident in the
fluid musical dialogue and joy of their live performance.
