“The hit of the party… transported everyone to another time...magical!”

“…helped take our party to the next level…absolutely loved the music!”

The Smoky Caipirinhas (“Ky-peer-een-yas”) formed in Manhattan in the summer of 2021. The duo blends the disparate musicality of a Brazilian percussionist and a British-American singer/pianist. Imagine Brazil’s piquant signature cocktail tinged with the smoky flavors of yesteryear’s jazz, and you get the mood… seamless vocals and harmonies punctuated by playful and imaginative percussion. TSC brings reinterpretations of bossa nova classics, and American standards with a vaudeville flair. Add a dash of the international songbook, and the mixology is complete!

Alex Fredrick is a versatile and engaging singing pianist who has performed in the US, UK, Europe, Japan, Mexico, the Caribbean, and on international cruise ships. Alex performs weekly at the legendary Don’t Tell Mama Piano Bar in New York City’s Theatre District.

A charismatic percussionist (washboard/cajon/spoons/tambourine) Leo Guerra has played with traditional jazz, blues, Brazilian jazz and bossa bands/artists in Brazil and the US. A former member of the renowned Mississippi Devils, Leo is featured as both composer and performer on their album, recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
