DOTSON, JENUINE CELLO, BROWNSVILLE'S BEST-KEPT SECRET


(Ed's Note: Jenuine Cello Jen Mulhern and virtuoso guitar magician Jonathan Dotson thrill classical music and rock classics aficionados every Thursday. Mulhern - a trained classical cello musician - is dubbed the Army of One because of her ingenious use of rhythms recording accompanied by her live performance on her unplugged and electric cello.

Yesterday, Dotson and Mulhern treated listeners with renditions of classical compositions likes  Francisco Terrega's Capricho Arabe, and others by the likes of Issaac Albeniz, Andres Segovia and John Williams with some Simon and Garfunkel thrown in for good measure. If you're lucky, you can actually get him to play difficult compositions like the First Prelude by Brazilian Heitor Villalobos.

The duet plays every Thursday the Half Moon Saloon at 1002 E. Adams in downtown Brownsville. Rock and Roll rules Friday and Saturday nights. See you there.)

Where will they appear? At Tony Martinez's Art Center at 11th and Washington at the ALMOST finished Valentin's Dept Store? How long has it been since 11th street has been messed up?

Too long just like at corpus highways always repairing the highways

Dr. Dotson and Genuine Cello are world class. I have seen them three times and will continue to visit each and every time I can. I can not believe that Brownsville has not caught up to this treasure (performing downtown). I want to open Ben's Firehouse Burgers close to the Fire Station so I can be close enough to see them every time they play. Highly Recommended.
