Seu Jorge and Almaz Tour Starts Today – And We Have Posters To Prove It…
The Seu Jorge and Almaz tour starts today in Miami – and just yesterday, the good folks at Burlesque finished their hand silk-screened tour posters. They were whisked off to Fed Ex and they’ll be available at the show tonight. The process that goes into making these lovely things is so labor intensive that we had to post some snaps of the process here.
The posters were designed by Mike Davis and were screen-printed by Burlesque. They are a 19 x 25″, 4-color print on French Blacktop paper.

You can now read a glowing review and check out Seu Jorge and Almaz in its entirety via NPR before the album is released next Tuesday. An excerpt from NPR’s review:
“Seu Jorge and Almaz mostly consists of cover songs, which in any other artist’s hands could be a recipe for disaster or mediocrity — but, boy, can Seu Jorge pull off a good cover song. He manages the perfect balance between adding his own distinct style and keeping the essence of the original. The results are portraits of complex emotions, such as his take on Kraftwerk’s “The Model.” With Jorge’s raw vocals and an Old West guitar that feels like a distant memory, the song becomes a strange cocktail of lust and sadness — not an uncommon feeling, but not commonly discussed in rock ‘n’ roll, either.”
