Two shows at the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe this weekend capture the very soul of different, but equally transcendent, types of music.

On Friday, Flamenco and World music are at the heart of the Latin guitar sound of Incendio.On Saturday, the acclaimed Philadelphia entertainer Eddie Bruce pays tribute to the great Tony Bennett, on the eve of the icon's 88th birthday.At the heart of every song by Indendio is the bold, romantic Spanish guitar, its timeless sound recast in powerful modern arrangements. They create a polyrhythmic swirl of multiple Latin American music forms (boleros, cumbias, salsa, tango, mambo) and passionately combine them with Indian, Arabic and Celtic flavors.The veteran songwriter/musicians knew the kind of inspired passion and energy they wanted to convey when they named their band in 1999.The Latin guitar world fusion sound created by guitarists Jim Stubblefield, Jean-Pierre Durand, and Liza Cabre' has received international acclaim, and their reputation as a dazzling live act has spread.Eddie Bruce, ably backed by the talented Tom Adams Trio, presents a heartfelt tribute to Tony Bennett, on the occasion of the great singer's 88th birthday.Adams is a highly respected pianist, having performed with a host of legendary singers including Mel Torme, Petula Clark, Bette Midler, Eydie Gorme and Steve Lawrence even pop singers such as Jewell.After sold-out performances at New York's Feinstein's and the Metropolitan Room, Philadelphia's Prince Music Theater's Cabaret, and many other venues up and down the East Coast, Eddie Bruce brings "Bruce on Bennett: A Loving Tribute," to Jim Thorpe.Tickets for each show are only $20.
