INCENDIO

The acclaimed Los-Angeles-based group INCENDIO performs original “world guitar” compositions, featuring incredible guitar-playing across a variety of genres: Latin, Middle Eastern, and Celtic grooves. 

Formed in 1999, the group has 11 CDs and 2 DVDs available internationally, variously hitting the Billboard, CMJ, NAV, and Amazon.com charts. Averaging over 150 shows a year since 2000 (until the COVID shutdown), INCENDIO’s live performance is an explosive improvisatory journey, garnering tremendous audience response in such diverse venues as the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, California World Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, the national Levitt Pavilions, and many more across the U.S and abroad. 

Their eleventh international release, SUMMONING THE MUSE, came out in June 2019. Their previous release, June 2013’s “The Shape of Dreams,” stayed at or near the top of the Amazon Flamenco and World charts for the remainder of that year. They have now reached over 116 million spins on streaming radio and have over 10,000 Facebook likes. Their music can be heard on Pandora, Spotify, and other streaming outlets. Incendio is JP Durand (guitar, guitar synth), Jim Stubblefield (guitar), Liza Carbe (bass, guitar) and Tim Curle (drums). 

JP Durand is also a graduate of UC Berkeley (Economics, Class of ’90), and is so happy to return to this wonderful town.
