Amoroso

Amoroso is a musical duo featuring veteran local musicians, guitarist/vocalist Dick Rausch (Second Eagle, Gentle Birds) and vocalist Elizabeth Melvin (Mama Jama, The Late Boomers.) Their music ranges from jazz stylings with a Bossa Nova flavor to sensuous R&B and laid-back rock grooves. Dick Rausch’s enthralling guitar-playing and unique arrangements underpin Amoroso’s eclectic repertoire of songs. They mesh their voices in a soulful blend on fresh versions of tunes by Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Jobim, Neil Young and more. Elizabeth sings in French and Portuguese to add a global touch to Amoroso’s music. Joining the duo will be D.C. acoustic bassist Eric Glaser (Dukes of Dixieland, The Late Boomers) and Annapolis’s own Gordon “Da-Da” Henson (XPD’s, Clones of Funk) on drums.
