Eight Gigs: Eliane Elias
Mon., June 22, 8 p.m., City Winery, $35-$65
Although Eliane's first name has probably been misspelled on more marquees and programs than she'd like to admit, her fans certainly know who she is. If you're a fan of Brazilian music and enjoy a heavy dollop of piano thrown in for good measure, Elias serves up a wonderful concoction. Like the popular drink from her native country, the caipirinha, her music is both sweet and tantalizing while amazingly potent. Her latest album is called Made In Brazil and was released in late March to rave reviews. After stints on both RCA Victor and Blue Note records, the move to her current label Concord only seemed natural. 1030 Main Street in Napa, http://elianeelias.com.
