Lazarus with special guest Alex Callenberger

lazarus with special guest alex callenberger 1

Lead by poet and frontman Ulric Cowley and accompanied by Kyle McInnis on baritone sax, Peter Nimphius on drums, and Scott Benoit on cello. Lazarus explores the space where myth, philosophy, and everyday life intersect, creating a unique blend of the fantastical and the absurd. Lazarus defies categorization but draws influence from everything from jazz, punk, psych, even guided meditation.   _________________________________________________    Portland, Oregon based guitarist, synth wizard and cinematic expressionist, Alex Callenberger creates soundscapes to dream and swim through. Calling on the powers of electric guitar, live looping, synthesizers, electronic and experimental instruments, he casts sonic spells that straddle and bind the genres of ambient, down-tempo, experimental, post-rock, psych, and folk-minimalism.   Alex will be joined by renowned saxophonist Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), drummer Brandon Warren and bassist Andrew Jones. This performance will also feature analog VHS visuals by experimental artist Skelton Hands of Ithaca, NY.     Ages 21+ Review our venue FAQ here  ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra

etix Ottmar 3493911747153070

Ottmar Liebert’s global success can be attributed to a myriad of things – his creative vision, his determination, and a strong sense of melody. Born in Cologne, Germany, he began playing guitar at 11. Before the age of 19, Liebert had intended to stay in Germany and pursue a career as a designer and photographer. However, while journeying extensively through Asia and playing with other travelers and local musicians, he realised that he could not escape a life of music.   After pursuing his dreams of playing rock music in Boston, he settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe was a fresh start for Liebert in many ways and in addition to returning to the acoustic guitar, he remained open to letting the place define the music he made. It was this openness to the local landscape that defined what was to become his musical style, a mix of Spanish, Mexican and World elements, strong melodies tinged with a shade of melancholy, balanced with upbeat rhythms.   Liebert founded the first incarnation of his band, Luna Negra, in 1989. His debut album began as a self-produced release called Marita: Shadows and Storms, copies of which local Native American artist, Frank Howell, distributed in his art galleries. After the record made its way to radio stations, it began generating a buzz among programmers and received unprecedented response among listeners. Higher Octave Music picked it up and released a fully remastered version, Nouveau Flamenco. Recorded for less than $3,000 on an old analog machine in a shack beside a gravel pit, this CD became an international sensation, establishing Liebert’s unique border-style flamenco, and becoming the best-selling instrumental acoustic guitar album of all time   Minors ok when accompanied by a parent or guardian 21+    Review our venue FAQ here   ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
