Description

A new collaboration from iconoclastic guitarist Frisell and "slightly cracked folksinger extraordinare" (Village Voice) Amidon, two artists who have created their own musical worlds from various corners of American folk musics.

Bill Frisell:
"It's hard to find a more fruitful meditation on American music than in the compositions of guitarist Bill Frisell." - The New York Times

"Frisell is a revered figure among musicians - like Miles Davis and few others, his signature is built from pure sound and inflection; an anti-technique that is instantly identifiable." - The Philadelphia Inquirer


Sam Amidon:
"Amidon has one of the most inviting voices around today...In bridging the very old and the very new on a handful of albums and collaborations, he has managed to meld the rural and the urban, the organic and the synthetic, the oral tradition and the written score." -Pitchfork

"In an era of overheated Nick Drake comparisons, Amidon is eerily close to the real thing." -Rolling Stone


$25 student ticket available at the door
