Savannah Stopover Music Festival announced today that it has added a special David Bowie Tribute Concert to the festival’s 2016 Lineup. Capsula, whose members hail from Argentina/Spain will perform Ziggy Stardust in its entirely at Trinity United Church in Savannah on Friday, March 11th, 2016 at 11pm.

Capsula recorded its version of David Bowie's classic album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars at the Water Music studios in Hoboken, New Jersey in March 2012, as a personal dream and sonic tribute to one of the albums and artists that profoundly marked the sound and the influences of the group. John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Patti Smith, Dinosaur Jr) was at the controls in the production of that project. (Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkaq5PbOimk)

“We’re absolutely thrilled that they agreed to do this special performance. The band is renowned for their love of Bowie and for this album” says Kayne Lanahan, Stopover CEO  and Founder. “We reached out to them a few weeks ago with the idea and everyone from the band and their team rallied behind it. They are even flying in an additional band member from New York just for this show”. The band will also perform the album at the 30th Anniversary Opening Night Event at SXSW in Austin the following week.
