DAVID GRUBBS has released sixteen solo albums and appeared on more than 200 releases. In 2000, his The Spectrum Between (Drag City) was named “Album of the Year” in the London Sunday Times. He is known for his cross-disciplinary collaborations with poet Susan Howe and visual artists Anthony McCall, Angela Bulloch, and Josiah McElheny, and his work has been presented at, among other venues, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, the Tate Modern, and the Centre Pompidou. Grubbs was a member of the groups Gastr del Sol, Bastro, and Squirrel Bait, and has performed with Tony Conrad, Pauline Oliveros, Luc Ferrari, Will Oldham, Loren Connors, Jan St. Werner, the Red Krayola, and many others. He is a recipient of the Berlin Prize and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts award in Music/Sound, a member of the board of directors of Blank Forms, and director of the Blue Chopsticks record label.
Grubbs’ new album ‘Whistle From Above’, his first for Drag City in a decade, was released this February. It is a colorful, compulsive set of instrumental pieces in which David and his chosen collaborators interact amid the steady roll of an expansive landscape based in the hypnosis of David’s immediately recognizable guitar style.

SECLUDED BRONTE are Richard Thomas, Adam Bohman and Jonathan Bohman. The trio formed in London, but launched in New York City in 2002. They released their first album, Secluded In Jersey City, on Pogus. The Anglo-Welsh group combine elements of free improvisation, rock, musique concrete, dub, songs and spoken word. They have been likened to a wide array of artists - This Heat, Wire, The Specials, John Zorn, Jean-Luc Godard, Ennio Morricone, Talk Talk,The Residents, The Fall, John Cage and Sun Ra - but, ultimately, Secluded Bronte are unclassifiable. Since 2020, Secluded Bronte have released six albums on the Ffordd Allan label, an album on Cafe Oto’s Takuroku label, a 7” EP on Felix Kubin’s Apolkalypso label, contributed to several compilation albums and toured extensively throughout Europe and the UK. A new album, Incidental Games, is expected this year.
