Live music and theatre in Santander, September 2022

This is what I’ve seen in September:

• 7 September: The Silver Lining Serenaders @ Rvbicón, Calle del Sol, 4, Santander
  Trad jazz and swing band from New Orleans. Featuring Ella Inglebret (violin, vocals), Scott Stobbe (guitar, vocals) and Ben Redwine (clarinet). Watch the full concert here.

  

• 13 September: Bywater Call @ El Almacén de Little Bobby, Calle del Sol, 20
  Dave Barnes (guitar), Stephen Dyte (trumpet), John Kervin (keys), Bruce McCarthy (drums), Mike Meusel (bass), Julian Nalli (tenor sax), Meghan Parnell (vocals). The price of tickets bought in advance was €14; at the entrance, €17; and online, €17 plus €1.70 “gastos de gestión”, €18.70 in total — daylight robbery. Luckily, I was able to get the “advance” tickets half an hour before the concert in the bar across the road.

  

• 20 September: Devórate @ Escena Miriñaque, Calle Isaac Peral, 9
  Since its 2019 première, Mari Paula’s creation has matured almost to perfection. That “plasticky” part in the middle is still a bit too long for my taste; otherwise, I enjoyed the show even more than three years ago.

  

• 21 September: Nico Andino Quartet @ Rvbicón
  With Nico Andino (trumpet), Nicolás Alvear (guitar), Jesús Pérez (electric bass) and Daniel Pimenta (drums). Watch the full concert here.

  

• 27 September: Kirie, las voces del alma @ Paraninfo de La Magdalena, Calle de la Familia Real, 8
  A show by Espacio Espiral directed by Cristina Samaniego. I liked the singing but struggled to keep awake during the narration.
• 28 September: Sed @ Escena Miriñaque
  A play by Quásar Teatro, directed and performed by Mónica González Megoya. I found it a bit long for its message.

• 28 September: Carlos Pizarro Trio @ Rvbicón
  Later the same evening: melodic modern jazz trio playing mostly original compositions. Featuring Diego Gutiérrez (drums), Javier Mayor (double bass) and Carlos Pizarro (guitar). Watch the full concert here.

  

• 30 September: Las Migas @ Teatro CASYC, Calle Tantín, 25
  Could there be a better way to finish a rainy day than to see Las Migas? Featuring Alicia Grillo (guitar, vocals), Carolina Fernández ‘La Chispa’ (lead vocals, dance), Laura Pacios (violin, vocals) and Marta Robles (guitar, vocals), plus Oriol Riart (double bass) and Guillem Arnau (drums, percussion). Marta Robles joked that they were dreaming of playing in Santander for the last 18 years (that is, from the moment the band was formed). A mix of old songs and material from their new album, Libres.

  

The summer is truly over now.
