Rebecca and Kuba

Next Event >> 
Rebecca Lowe and her husband Kuba Kawnik met on the high seas while both were musical artists on a cruise ship. Their backgrounds couldn't have been more different: Kuba came from Poland with a classical and jazz musical education and Rebecca was a Texan living in Los Angles with a penchant for singing and acting in musical theatre. With successful solo endeavors under both their belts, they decided to join forces and create the unthinkable -- a variety show with country, jazz, show tunes and classical music. Their repertoire of diverse musical styles and instruments combined with their chemistry have been delighting audiences for years with no sign of letting up!

Kuba

Born in Łódź, Poland, multi-instrumentalist Jakub “Kuba” Kawnik (pronounced “KOO-bah”) has been playing on different instruments since he was 5 years old. Although he is probably best known for his performance on vibraphone, using a specialized 4-mallet technique, he has also mastered the incredibly difficult theremin. In addition, he plays drums, marimba, percussion instruments, piano, guitar, violin, kalimba, flute and handsaw. Kuba’s live concerts are highly out of the ordinary and entertaining, taking the audience on an unpredictable journey, incorporating classical numbers 
as well as standards and the usual with some not-so-usual instruments.   Audiences come away with the feeling that not only were they entertained and enlightened, but they also got to know and experience an up-and-coming gifted and unique talent. -- www.kubavibes.com

Rebecca Lowe

If you love musicals and songs that tell as story, from a down-home girl with an uptown voice, Rebecca Lowe is not to be missed. On stage, she is best known for her roles in the musicals Evita and Jekyll & Hyde. As the youngest actress to perform the role of Eva Peron, Rebecca received standing ovations and critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe. She appeared in the title role of Lucy in the Los Angeles production of Jekyll & Hyde, receiving a Robby Award nomination. A regular headliner for various cruise lines throughout the world, she is known for her easy-to-get-to-know personality and strong, clear voice. Her concerts are sophisticated, engaging and entertaining, yet unpretentious, incorporating her Broadway background as well as popular & country music. The best compliment she ever received was when an audience member said to her after a show, “I have heard that song hundreds of times before, but I never understood what it meant until I heard you sing it tonight.”
