Live Music / Abstract Citizen
Abstract Citizen is the newest group from Guitarist/Composer Aaron Lebos. All of the music was written during the pandemic and is under the wide umbrella of Modern Jazz. It is Aaron's first project using vocals. Aaron also plays with some of the biggest South Florida names such as Nicole Henry, Spam All-Stars, Nu Deco Ensemble and more and brings his diverse and eclectic style to Abstract Citizen.
Their music is filled with simple yet unique melodies, complex yet accessible time signatures, individual and group improvisation. Most importantly this new music is filled with freshness and sincerity. Joining Aaron is a remarkable band featuring Justine Garcia on vocals, Marty Quinn on bass and Brahm Masla on drums.
