Concert promoting "The Color of Love" at twocities gallery this Friday

Steve Sweeting knows how to bring creativity out of vocalists. Having worked with a number of local singers in Shanghai since he moved out here almost two years ago, he has produced a number of concerts and even a few albums already with many of Shanghai's best singers. His popular ongoing vocal-piano duo concert series at Twocities Gallery "Twocities in tune," has always been well-attended, as they tend to premier new music and ideas. Even people who have heard these singers before are amazed at these concerts because there's always plenty of completely new stuff.

Today, the area has not only been considerably spruced up, but has also grown to include a number of upmarket cafes and shops. This development has inevitably created winners and losers, with numerous galleries falling by the wayside.
