We have a special performance this coming Tuesday, May 10…trying something a little bit different for the night. A great band called Father Figures is coming through Baltimore on tour, and it worked out for them to join us on a Tuesday night. They have a full set of their own music (which is definitely worth checking out) so they’re playing that at 8:00pm then OOYH will proceed as normal at 9:30pm. But we’ll be splitting up their band and mixing in some of our favorite Baltimore musicians to stay true to the idea of OOYH. Should be great. It’s all FREE so come at 8:00pm and stay until it’s over…as always this occurs at The Windup Space (12 W North Ave) Schedule for the night and more info about Father Figures:
Tuesday, May 10 @ The Windup Space
8:00pm–Father Figures
9:30pm–Adam Schatz, Jas Walton-saxophones; Jon Lipscomb-guitar; Nathan Ellman-Bell-drums
11:00pm–John Dierker-reeds; Ross Edwards-rhodes; Spencer Zahn-bass; Ian Chang-drums
Father Figures is a band of five friends from Brooklyn, making music that blends the composed and improvised into something that is wild, yet accessible. It is Zombie Jazz, and it is not your grandfather’s music… unless your grandfather juggled knives. Always melodic and strong willed, Father Figures manages sounds into sculptures to make you move your feet, then break a vase, and can neatly package these sounds into a 30 minute set ideal for a dirty basement, or an hour long set ideal for a slightly cleaner warehouse. But they’ll actually play anywhere, and won’t be stopped.
After meeting at NYU, Father Figures studied with instrumental monsters Ralph Alessi, Dave Pietro & Wayne Krantz to help develop their approach to collective improvisation and build a rock solid group sound as a foundation for creative composition from every band member. As a listener, it will be unclear what is improvised and what is not, and that mystery is what carries Father Figures live performance to new heights.
Father Figures is:
Adam Schatz (tenor sax, effects)
Jas Walton (tenor sax)
Ross Edwards (keys)
Spencer Zahn (bass)
Ian Chang (drums)
There’s a new video up in the Media section. This is a clip from last night’s performance of Eric Trudel-reeds; Patrick McAvinue-violin; Zach Swanson-bass; and Alan Munshower-drums. This was a GREAT group…check out the short video to see.
Full schedule for May/June/July will be posted over the weekend. Next week we have a special performance featuring Father Figures from NY…we’ll be mixing them up with some Bmore musicians and see what happens. Details for that coming soon.
