SUMMARY:Fringe Pipes & Admiral Fox @ Aster Cafe
DESCRIPTION:RSVP on Facebook \nI will be playing keys with Fringe Pipes. \nSave your spot at AsterCafe.com\n$5 Cover charges on the tab. \nFringe Pipes is a band of drifters and ghosts from the other side of the fence. Their flavor of Americana combines frontman Colin Loynachan’s earnest songwriting with stunning three-part harmony and a freight train of a band. \nwww.fringepipes.com \n– \nAdmiral Fox is a singer-songwriter\, guitarist\, and keyboard dabbler based in Minneapolis\, MN. His real name is Dan DeMarco. He used to make music under that name\, and some other names too\, but not anymore. His homemade style of recording and beatmaking recalls Neutral Milk Hotel\, Fleet Foxes\, and a lo-fi Radiohead. \nwww.itsadmiralfox.com

The experience is enhanced by a live 17-voice choir featuring some of Minnesota’s leading vocal talent performing Joby Talbot’s score of the same name. \nFounded in 1971 by Brenda Way\, who trained under the legendary George Balanchine\, ODC/Dance has been recognized for its rigorous technique\, as well as its collaborations with numerous composers\, writer/singers\, actors\, and visual artists. The company has performed for more than a million people in 32 states and 11 countries. \nPath of Miracles is presented in partnership with Wesley United Methodist Church: Winona\, and in collaboration with the Charles Wesley Center of Sacred Music and Arts. \nThe presentation of Path of Miracles is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project\, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nThis presentation is supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund\, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts\, with additional contributions from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Crane Group.

SUMMARY:Zeitgeist Early Music Festival: Julius Eastman
DESCRIPTION:I will perform Julius Eastman’s work for two voices\, “Our Father\,” with Harrison Hintzsche\, baritone\,  as part of Zeitgeist’s 8th Annual Early Music Festival.  \n\nZeitgeist’s 8th Annual Early Music Festival explores the powerful contributions of our musical pioneers with a celebration of African American minimalist composer Julius Eastman. Eastman’s vibrant\, virtuosic\, and rhythmically aggressive music\, and the racially and sexually charged nature of his work challenged the musical establishment and anti-establishment alike in the 1970s and 1980s\, greatly impacting the trajectory of American minimalism. Lost after his death in 1990\, Eastman’s music has been recently recovered is asserting its influence once again. \n — zeitgeistnemusic.org
