“A Night in Athens” – Nick Trivelas & The Aegeans

The latest collaboration between Nick Travelas and George Antonopoulos, a bouzouki virtuoso & entertainer extraordinaire.   George is from Pireas Greece and has performed through-out Europe, Canada, the USA & parts of Central America (aka "the Greek Elvis" in the Midwest). Coming from a family of talented musicians, George performed as a bouzouksis with Holiday In Greece, Makis Christodoulopoulos, and in many of the clubs in Montreal, Chicago, Detroit, New York & Los Angeles.

The result of this collaboration is a trio called "A Night In Athens" show-casing the raw high energy talent of George Antonopoulos that mesmerizes audiences from the first note to the last. The music is as authentic and gutsy. The atmosphere is charged. George's exhilaration is infectious. Joanna adds her voice to George's and Nick's rounding out the trio, as they perform the current Tsiftetelia, Zebekika, and Syrta; the well known Dimotika, (Kalamatiana, Tsamika, Nisiotika); and Rebetica.
