Weirs / Matt Geary / Kutay Sezginel

Monday December 8 * doors at 6:30. show at 7 * $15-20 * TICKETS

Weirs is a Durham, NC based collective who blend traditional tunes, ballads, hymns, and instruments with an interest in drone, tape music, and long-form improvisation. They are inspired by and aspire to be counted among those practitioners that don't keep 'traditional music' behind museum glass, but get it out and use it—even if it might get dinged up. Their new album, Diamond Grove, is out through Dear Life Records.

Philadelphia-based guitarist guitarist and composer Matt Geary has been exploring the frontiers of American Primitive, folk, drone, and ambient music since embarking on his solo journey in 2018.

Kutay Sezginel's music explores the intertwined nature of tradition and innovation. Rooted in the rich heritage of Anatolian folk music and inspired by psychedelic rock, dark ambient, and krautrock, he creates cosmic soundscapes layered with microtonal cultural motifs and odd time signatures. With neo-ethnic instruments like the çağlama and the electric cümbüş as his narrators, he creates stories of imaginative realms with memories of the past. His work is always evolving and reshaping itself through the spontaneity and energy of live performances.
