The band has taken the DIY approach for nearly 17 years- they manage themselves, finance their own recordings, and produce some of the most visually-stunning live shows around (check out this�video of �My Sun��for an idea). They�ve also shared the stage with some of the world�s biggest artists, including The Flaming Lips and Arcade Fire,�all while topping charts worldwide.
The Gift may be a new name to some here in the U.S., but this isn�t an overnight�success story. Made up of Nuno Gon�alves, John Gon�alves, Miguel Ribeiro, and their beautiful, and amazingly versatile lead singer S�nia Tavares, this is a band at the top of their game, nearly two decades later. This is a gift that will keep on giving, well into 2012. Don�t miss their stellar live show on this rare US tour!
Don�t hesitate to reach out for any guest list or press inquiries,
this is a band you need to see live to fully comprehend!
