JULY 31 - AUG 3

ANDY SUZUKI & THE METHOD

Saturday, July 31 at 7:30 PM

"Andy Suzuki brings a stripped-down R&B sensibility to the piano-man paradigm - and does it with a voice that could have him starring in Rent on Broadway." - Michael Gallant, Keyboard Magazine - Unsigned Artist of the Month

Q: Who are Andy Suzuki & The Method?

A: John Mayer meets Sara Bareilles. Imagine their half-Asian lovechild. Add an electric violinist who solos like a lead guitarist and a percussionist who swings his dreds harder than anyone ever asks him to. $12 in advance / $14 at the door

ROXANE BUTTERFLY

Saturday, July 31 at 9:30 PM

Underground tap-icon Roxane Butterfly comes back to New York with a brand new collaboration featuring the music of pianist Frederique Trunk, to offer an evening of contemporary tap, ethno-jazz and spoken-word. The two french-american women will join their talent to reflect on their experiences as women, perpetual immigrants and lovers of life. This two years-old collaboration started as a co-production of Central Art Process, a multi-disciplinary artists collective based in barcelona and has toured Italy and Spain. $18

ASYLUM STREET SPANKERS

Sunday, August 1 at 7:30 PM

Imagine a whimsical collision course between ragtime, two-step parlor dances, jazz, vaudeville, off-color blues, hip-hop swagger, country AND western - and you get the kaleidoscopic musical universe of the Asylum Street Spankers. One of the single best live bands you'll ever see (a model of dynamics and sheer musicality), they're as likely to play music in the orbit of the Hokum Boys and Ida Cox as that of the Beasties and Black Flag or sharp-right turn originals on any given night. Risqué repartee, humor and seamless gear-shifting between styles are just part of their deep charm. Their take on what Greil Marcus called the music of, "old, weird America," is as honest as it is entertaining. $20

 

VAGABOND OPERA

Sunday, August 1 at 9:30 PM

Hailing from Portland, OR, Vagabond Opera pumps life into opera with the bellows of an untamed Romanian accordion, re-invents it, and accomplishes the near-impossible. Featuring trained operatic vocals, theatrics and songs in 15 languages. "A Vagabond Opera show is a chance to time-travel. Specifically, to 1920s Paris. On a riverboat. With a glass of absinthe in one hand and a long cigarette holder in the other. And - why not? - chatting with Josephine Baker.". - Washington Post $15

ELK CITY: HOUSE OF TONGUES CD RELEASE

Tuesday, August 3 at 7:30 PM

Elk City re-invent the seductive sophistication of 1970's FM radio pop- but never shy away from their formidable rock power. Singer Renée LoBue possesses one of her generations most versatile and distinctive voices. Her melodic songs a veritable transit rail from the intoxications of 1960's Bay Area psychedelia to the smoky Parisian outposts which might once have hosted Nina Simone.

 

LoBue is perfectly-matched with guitarist Sean Eden, who joined Elk City soon after the break-up of the legendary Luna. Eden expresses and withholds his playing in a manner perfectly reflecting the hope and anxiety of LoBue's confessional lyrics.This special evening performance celebrates the release of Elk City's 2010 album, 'House of Tongues'. $12
