# Event Details - **Event Name**: TURNmusic presents Michael Prentky Album Release Tour: sad boy:ADD:apocalypse - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Boston trombonist Michael Prentky is bringing his 12-piece orchestra across the Northeast U.S. and Canada, performing his debut genre-defying album. Album Release of sad boy:ADD:apocalypse: Six years in the making, Boston trombonist Michael Prentky’s debut album, sad boy:ADD:apocalypse, is an epic, Zappa-esque suite for small orchestra – string quartet, four trombones and rhythm section. This mammoth odyssey is Prentky’s unwavering commitment to authenticity. The writing is lush, emotive and cathartic. Prentky’s sonic worlds showcase his eclectic interests: dreamy Beach House guitar riffs, avant-pop orchestral strings, breakbeat klezmer, pacific brass chorales, confessional poetry and raucous instrumental frenzies. Prentky conducts the orchestra, plays trombone, sings, and recites original poetry. From January 17 - February 28th 2026, Boston-based trombonist Michael Prentky will tour his debut album, sad boy:ADD:apocalypse, across the Northeast U.S. and Canada. His orchestra includes a string quartet, 4 trombones, tuba, and rhythm section. Prentky will conduct, play trombone, sing, and recite original poetry. In addition to performing the entire album, Prentky will be premiering new original Klezmer compositions. He’s bringing a fresh perspective to Klezmer music with his high-energy trombone band and harmonically-rich compositions while staying rooted in Klezmer traditions. He'll be teaching audiences traditional corresponding Yiddish line dancing, such as the zhouk (aka hora) and terkisher, with the intention of reviving endangered dance steps. “The subject matter is intense, but Prentky’s music is as satisfying as it is daring” – Noah Schaffer WBUR It’s an “adventurous extravaganza… Frank Zappa would’ve loved it” – Mike Greenblatt, Beyond Genre, Goldmine Magazine “Deep revealing of some personal feelings on these tracks, it’s a very nice work” – Ken Field WMBR About Michael Prentky: Michael Prentky’s freelancing on trombone can be summarized in three words – chameleon, omnivore and polyglot. Navigating performances with rapper 50 Cent, Mozambican Funk band Kina Zoré (featured on NPR Tiny Desk), avante-garde jazz with the Walking Cliché Sextet, or Balkan Romani music with Sarma Brass Band requires an adventurous and flexible musicianship. It’s this musical synthesis that Prentky crystallizes in his artistic debut, sad boy:ADD:apocalypse. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/waterbury/turnmusic-presents-michael-prentky-album-release-tour-sad-boy-add-apocalypse/200029481578211 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, art, literary-art, performances, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 19 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Waterbury - **state**: VT - **country**: United States - **location**: 5 Stowe Street, Waterbury, VT, United States, Vermont 05676 - **lat**: 44.33777 - **long**: -72.75599 - **full address**: 5 Stowe Street, Waterbury, VT, United States, Vermont 05676 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: TURNmusic presents Michael Prentky Album Release Tour: sad boy:ADD:apocalypse - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/6a03edc42c3215e1b64cdc4502710f28310b71b74a4678d09dc4d56228e32b9b-rimg-w1200-h1552-dc030303-gmir?v=1769055427 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is TURNmusic presents Michael Prentky Album Release Tour: sad boy:ADD:apocalypse being held? - **A:** TURNmusic presents Michael Prentky Album Release Tour: sad boy:ADD:apocalypse takes place on Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 5 Stowe Street, Waterbury, VT, United States, Vermont 05676. - **Q**: Who is organizing TURNmusic presents Michael Prentky Album Release Tour: sad boy:ADD:apocalypse? - **A:** TURNmusic presents Michael Prentky Album Release Tour: sad boy:ADD:apocalypse is organized by TURNmusic. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
