The JUCE crew is a tight knit group of individuals hailing from the North end of the Emerald Triangle. These Humboldt County musicians have extensive experience, having performed together in various groups and on solo projects for the past eight years. Their style is a reflection of their lives. This crew is extremely well traveled, most of these players are bilingual, and all are positive, educated youths. Humboldt County has sparked a fire in this crew and their lyrics tackle many of the issues facing both their community and abroad. From the federal governments’ warlike tactics against the local home-grown economy to the lack of jobs, JUCE lives by the motto: Forward ever, backward never. As musicians they also realize that the best way to drop the knowledge bomb is through hard-hitting beats, and JUCE definitely delivers.
Samba na Chuva is not one lady, but six ladies (Desiree, Maria, Lisa, Liz, Juliet, and Nicola) who love to shake it to Brazilian grooves. Our love for samba and other styles of Brazilian music/dance led to the forming of this Brazilian Dance performance troupe in March 2006. Samba na Chuva is based out of beautiful Humboldt County (our name translates to “samba in the rain”). Through our dance and appreciation of Brazilian culture, we hope to share some of that samba spirit with you! Come shake it with us at our next show! Samba na Chuva also wants to extend a big thank you to Buster Jive & the Janky Mallets and Bloco Firmeza for collaborating with us.
