Aaron Irwin Trio / Blood of a Poet & TSS Bradley / Nik Francis & Nate Scheible
Advertisement
Saturday August 9 * 7pm * $15-25 * TICKETS
The Aaron Irwin Trio is an exploratory and dynamic ensemble featuring Aaron Irwin (saxophones, clarinets), Mike Baggetta (guitar), and Bill Campbell (drums). The group thrives on pushing the boundaries of structure, form, and improvisation, creating music that is both deeply interactive and texturally rich. With a focus on group interplay, the trio crafts non-conventional song forms that evolve organically in performance, blurring the lines between composition and spontaneous creation.
Sarah Basílio’s Blood of a Poet exists in a rare, prehistorical, nearly alchemical realm of quiet power. One may draw comparisons between Blood of a Poet and the early 70s works of Nico and Brigitte Fontaine. To be sure, there is a shared interest in the use of harmonium and voice to find a new modality, a poetry of the soul, informed by the distant past and that yet to come. TSS Bradley is a multi-instrumentalist based in Portland, OR drawing upon traditions of improvisational saxophone music reminiscent of the genre’s more spiritual and experimental edges.
Nik Francis is an improvising musician with a primary focus on the drum kit, occasionally integrating electronics and small acoustic instruments to expand his sonic palette, exploring a broad range of improvised and experimental music. Nate Scheible has performed and recorded in a variety of bands and ensembles spanning multiple genres over the past 25 years. His background is largely based in improvisation on drums, electronics, and analog tape.
