Jack Stamates (left) and Eric Wagner —two of Miami’s best musicians —pair up to provide an evening of enchanting music on the Grove Spot front porch on Saturday, June 3, from 8 to 11 pm.
Jack is a talented multi-instrumentalist who studied Irish fiddle technique under the legendary James Kelly and has played in an array of rock, country, renaissance and Celtic bands including Avalon, Generica, and Celtic Mayhem. His recordings span the range of his musical interests and include tracks on three platinum-selling pop/rock CDs: Shakira’s Donde Esta Las Ladrones and Laundry Service, and J. Lo’s On the Six, an album of songs and dances from the 14th Century, and a collection of Scottish tunes with Jennifer Licko. He also performs and records with The Three Jacks and Matthew Sabatella and the Rambling String Band.
Eric is a Coconut Grove-based composer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist, best known locally for his work with the string band SOLAR DOGS, the electric quartet Epic Righteous Invincible Combo (E.R.I.C.), and the Americana band the Iguanas.
