The Carlos Adames Group, a staple of our Latin Sessions series during the summer months, is back for a very special occasion: the return of bassist, John Paul Simons, who is coming off of a miraculous recovery from a life threatening health crisis. Carlos will be leading the charge on hand percussion, along with Elias Holman on keys and Steve Peplin on guitar. Come welcome John back!
