Glenn Jones and ZOMES

Standard | Posted on June 25, 2013 by zack

This show is at the Black Sparrow.

Show starts at 9PM.

Glenn Jones is a unique voice working in the decades-long tradition of American Primitivism. What sets him apart from the many devotees to this style is the combination of expressive playing and technical skill, most significantly his inventive use of alternate tunings and partial capos. As anyone knows who has seen him perform, Glenn is a remarkable storyteller, and his songs reflect that talent. The songs on Glenn’s latest, My Garden State, are evocative and redolent, and serve as a testament to Glenn’s talent for conveying a wide array of emotions, many times in one song, without saying a word.

E3 Returns to Foam City on May 11!

When: Saturday, May 11
Time: 8:00PM (doors open at 7:40)
Where: Foam City (409 N 3rd St.)
How Much: $5

Join us on Saturday, May 11 for our last E3 of the spring as Double-Edge Dance comes to town from Ohio! Double–Edge Dance is a contemporary dance and music company co-founded in 1993 by choreographer/dancer Kora Radella and composer/saxophonist Ross Feller. They have performed their work throughout the U.S.A. and in Belgium, England, the Netherlands, Scotland, Spain, and Switzerland. Double-Edge Dance conjures multiple perspectives by utilizing a diverse array of artistic themes and processes. They work with contradiction and juxtaposition, layering materials and images including idiosyncratic movement invention, unpredictable phrasing, full 3-D motion, and disorientation paired with point-on precision. Double-Edge Dance maintains a sense of live spontaneity through choreography, composition, and improvisation.

Also on the program will be the E3 co-founder Danny Weiss, as well as the mysterious Lafayette ensemble Boredom of the Bar, a noise spectacle ensemble, led by Zachary Baiel.

Come celebrate improvisation with E3.
