Peet Project + Michael Lington Concert, A38 Ship Budapest, 11 July
As a natural follow-up to their amazing, high-energy show last summer, Danish-American saxophonist Michael Lington returns to Budapest to join forces with top notch young local talents the Peet Project offering a rare musical delight to lovers of melodic jazz, soul, funk and pop.

There will be no shortage of new music: Michael's latest radio hit, South Bay, topped the Billboard jazz Chart at #1 for a record seven weeks recently, and the Peet Project's current hit Beverly Hills Party is enjoying smooth jazz airplay across the US.

For those who saw them on stage together last year, neither Michael nor the Peet Project needs an introduction.

Michael Lington is one of contemporary jazz’s most exhilarating artists – he has performed and recorded with Michael Bolton, Dave Stewart, Vince Gill, Dave Koz, Booker T. Jones, Taylor Dayne, Barry Manilow, Randy Crawford and Brian Culbertson among others. His joint tour with Michael Bolton took him to 350 shows in 40 countries around the world. He is one of the key performers on the StageIt! platform.

Playing a high-energy blend of jazz, pop and funk, the Peet Project is one of Hungary’s internationally recognized young bands. They have been regular performers at major jazz festivals both in the US and at home since 2013. They won multiple awards at Catalina Island JazzTrax, the longest running and most prestigious US jazz festival, where they are scheduled to return this October.

The played at the Dave Koz Cruise (2016 and 2018), topped Canada’s jazz radio chart (2021) and they are the first Hungarian band who have made it to the Billboard Smooth Jazz Top 30 chart with four different songs to date. They also played in Spain, Switzerland, Malta, Slovakia and Romania and are returning performers on the A38 stage.

The Peet Project and Michael Lington first worked together in 2019, when Michael played as featured artist on Anything for You, a seductive track on the band's sixth studio album Ups & Downs.

Their joint show at the A38 will feature new and old hits from both the Peet Project’s and Michael Lington’s repertoire, offering a not-to-be-missed live music experience for discerning music fans.
