Victor Samalot Duo
Victor Samalot + Bobbi Holt
"Latin Heart, Rock Soul, Jazz Spirit"
Joining Victor on stage is the multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Bobbi Holt! Together the Victor Samalot Duo’s sets blend original music, covers, and improvisations, including instrumentals and classic vocal favorites with a Latin twist. Bobbi is thrilled to be returning to the stage with her long-time collaborator, adding bass guitar and vocal abilities to Victor's already organic rhythmic vibe. Bobbi’s prior projects include producing ambient world music under the name Mind Lab Music, providing bass tracks to Victor’s solo recordings and was co-founder of the Jazz Rock Fusion group Rare Blend as songwriter and keyboardist.
