Nettle at Vaudeville Park with Special Guests

DJ/Rupture's Nettle will be playing within a sculpture show at Brooklyn's Vaudeville Park. This will be part of the "Pairing Off" a.k.a "Music is Art/Music as Art" series at VP. These types of shows are always my favorite because they are intimate and provide an alternate landscape to hear live music. Opening the night are Korean musicians, Seungmin Cha--Eunsun Jung--Woojung Sim, who play shamanistic experimental flute and vocal music. Also, Lamin Fonfana will be doing a live set of sound oscillations from his profound musical vocabulary. This will be Nettle's last shows in a while, so please catch us if you haven't already: )

Nettle Plays Zebulon

DJ/Rupture invited me to join his group Nettle back in February. I would call a Nettle a dark chamber ensemble that is triggered by DJ/Rupture's brilliant electronic alchemy paying occasional homage to the music of North Africa(Gnawa). I'm also very fortunate to have Brent Arnold on cello, Lindsay Cuff on violin, and Bill Bowden on percussion/electronics in this outfit. We play at Zebulon this Thursday, March 10th at 9.30pm. The show is free!!

Tap Dancers at Danspace

I'm very honored to be a part of this special tap show. Michelle Dorrance is a member of STOMP and one of the most phenomenal tap dancers out there; and we go all the way back to Chapel Hill High School!!! I'll be playing guitar on a piece Michelle and I arranged a few months ago. Also, adding choreography is Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards, another tap giant doing a tribute to Michael Jackson and Paul Kennedy. This is seriously incredible!!
