Look Sharp/Aim True: Acoustic Tribute to Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson
Helmed by Seattle-based musician Ari Rosenschein (STAHV, The Royal Oui, Ari Shine), Look Sharp Aim True is an acoustic tribute celebrating the golden age of witty, melodic new wave. This show channels icons Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Squeeze, and Nick Lowe.
Rosenschein's touring history includes supporting Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters), John Doe (X), Rhett Miller, Wreckless Eric, Lene Lovich, Liam Finn, Jay Aston’s Gene Loves Jezebel, Mike Peters (The Alarm), Redd Kross, Silversun Pickups, and Hugh Cornwell (The Stranglers). He has worked with Jennifer Finch (L7), Josie Cotton, Gaby Moreno, and Angela McCluskey (Wild Colonials). Rosenschein's songs have appeared on Veronica Mars and Shameless, and he co-wrote the 2006 John Lennon Songwriting Contest Song of the Year.
RAGAZZA is the electro-rock/new wave soul collaboration between singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Dejha Colantuono and multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Joey Veneziani. Blending atmospheric electronics, live instrumentation, soulful melodies, and cinematic production, the duo creates a sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.
Originally called Il bel sogno di questa ragazza (“the beautiful dream of this girl”), the project was later shortened to simply Ragazza. At its core is the collision of a soulful rock ’n’ roll voice with dark, immersive electronic production inspired by artists like Massive Attack.
Though they haven’t performed together regularly in years, each reunion reveals how much the project has evolved, leaving audiences wondering what Ragazza will do next.
