Night Music #261: The Black Auks

Night Music is an improvisational music series held on the third Thursday of every month at The Ship Pub. Local musicians play a set of their own music, which serves as the basis for the improvisation that follows. Musicians collaborate with organizer Craig Squires to present the evening of music, both planned and impromptu. This is not an open mic, but all players are invited to come down and join the fun.

Born from the ashes of Don Wherry's "uptown" avant-garde act Fusion and Wallace and Craig's "downtown" avant-garde act Wet Cheese Delerium - both with roots in the mid 70s and 80s - The Black Auks have been making music for 50 years.

Current personnel: Wallace Hammond, Rick Bailey, Neil Rosenberg, Craig Squires, and Mack Furlong.

Night Music is supported by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, and Recreation.
