“The only thing better than singing is more singing — with friends!”
—Ella Fitzgerald

And sing we did!  You might remember this quote we shared some time ago, which still rings true for us today.

We don’t always get to meet everyone during theater performances, and it was time for something different - a little break from production work - time to kick back.
Let’s celebrate, we said!  And who better to celebrate with than our flamenco community?

Over here at Wild Days, double-checking stage measurements… 📏 and saw this timely reminder:

STAY TRUE TO YOUR PURPOSE ❤️

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Lots to be grateful for including 3 years of beautiful flamenco moments with you. Thanks for being part of our journey - we can’t wait to celebrate with you on December 7 right here 🌿💃🏽🎶✨

Come join us for an afternoon of live performances, festive sherry pours, and flamenco up close.  There will be three unique shows featuring special guest artists - come for one show or stay for them all!

A couple of quick snaps from our performance last Monday in Baltimore.

Our immense gratitude to The Three Arts Club of Homeland for hosting us, to our guest artists Ricardo Marlow and Mariana Gatto, and to our sold-out audience for their presence, energy, and warm reception.

We’re thrilled to bring Aire Andaluz to Baltimore on Monday, November 3.

Presented by The Three Arts Club of Homeland, this flamenco performance will take place at their beautiful space in Baltimore and feature SonDeBaril alongside guest artists Ricardo Marlow and Mariana Gatto.
