upcoming shows
Vieux Farka Touré
Tue, Sep 15 - Wed, Sep 16The son of Malian music royalty, the legendary Ali Farka Toure, Vieux Farka Touré is often referred to as the Hendrix of the Sahara, a title meant more to convey the point that the man is a brilliant guitarist than to suggest that there's anything remotely Hendrix-esque about his playing (which there isn't). He's an altogether different kind of awe-inspiring.
LETTUCE
Thu, Sep 17 - Sun, Sep 20Touring in support of their latest release "COOK" Lettuce are boundary-pushing innovators blurring lines and smashing up jazz chords, psychedelic passages, big horns, strains of soul and go-go, hip-hop elements for an uplifting, improvisational sound all their own.
