Carol Lipnik & Jane Lecroy Perform Double Bill at The Black Box Theater, 10/24

Carol Lipnik & Spookarama and Jane Lecroy & Transmitting will perform a double bill at The Black Box Theater on Saturday, October 24th at 8pm.  

it has been said that experiencing a performance conjured by New York cult songstress Carol Lipnik and her band Spookarama is like attending a séance in a deserted Coney Island amusement park at night. Like some strange siren medium, Lipnik, with her hauntingly beautiful voice channels the spectrum of human emotions. Her poetic image-rich and genre defying songwriting echoes sources as varied as Weimer-era German cabaret, swamp blues, psychedelic folk, and turn of the century parlor songs. Lipnik is accompanied by critically acclaimed eclectic pianist DrEd Scott on keyboards.  

Jane LeCroy and Transmitting (featuring Tom Abbs on upright bass, didjeridoo, tuba and firecrackers) is avant-garde jazz and poetry, automatic surrealism, political and scientific, dreamy and human. it has been said that her music and poetry is as accessible and fun as it is dark and philosophical. Half of the set is improvised, while the the other half is planned and refined.

Tickets are $10. and can be purchased at www.smarttix.com.  Additional information can be found at www.myspace.com/carollipnikandspookarama ; www.mermaidalley.com. ; or www.janelecroy.com.
