Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini at The Ruins

Friday, April 4, 2025

6:00 pm - 9:00 pm 

Website: Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini

Describing the musical partnership of Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band) and Ian Faquini as a duo is accurate, but their collaboration contains multitudes. She's a trombonist, vocalist and songwriter from San Francisco. He's a composer, guitarist, and singer from Brasilia. Together they've honed a singularly expansive creative communion encompassing their love of Brazilian songbook, jazz, Impressionism and sophisticated pop songcraft.

Their original material features lyrics in Portuguese, French and English set to music drawing from vast stylistic spectrum. With sumptuous two-part vocal harmonies hugging Brazilian-accented Portuguese accompanied by trombone and acoustic guitar, Cressman and Faquini's richly orchestrated sound seems to emanate from a much larger ensemble.
