We'll go where we go and know when we get there, and know when it's time to move on. For Scott Amendola, the drum kit isn't so much an instrument as a musical portal. As an ambitious composer, savvy bandleader, electronics explorer, and first-call accompanist, he is a creative foil for some of the world's most inventive musicians. His closest musical associates include guitarists Charlie Hunter, Nels Cline, and Jeff Parker, Hammond B-3 organist Wil Blades, violinist Jenny Scheinman, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, and bassists Trevor Dunn and Todd Sickafoose. Amendola possesses a gift for twisting musical genres in unexpected directions. Nate Brenner is a bassist, composer, and producer best known for his work with the acclaimed project tune-yards. With Merrill Garbus of tune-yards, he has toured the world, released celebrated albums on 4AD, and recently co-scored Boots Riley's Amazon Prime series I'm a Virgo. Brenner also records under the moniker Naytronix, releasing four solo albums, and has collaborated with Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Ben Goldberg, and Thao & The Get Down Stay Down. Mark Pascucci-Clifford is a vibraphonist, composer, percussionist, pianist, educator, and producer based in Oakland, CA. A much sought-after performer and improviser, he is deeply involved in new music, jazz, free improvisation, classical music, and indie rock. He composes for and leads his own group, The Dirty Snacks Ensemble, whose 2022 release You Would Do Well was named "One of the Best of 2022" by Andy Gilbert of the Classical Voice and which headlined the 2024 Outsound Summit. Robert Lopez is a percussionist, educator, and researcher. His background in various types of music such as folkloric traditions of Brazil, Ghana, and Cuba, alongside contemporary chamber music and free improvisation, allows a malleable approach to sharing musical ideas. Since 2011, he has been an active member of the Bay Area music community working with groups like SO AR, the Red Room Orchestra, Grex, and Jordan Glenn's BEAK, among others. Ryan Schaeffer, guitarist, is an Oakland native who has played all around the Bay Area and across the globe. Ryan's unique musical background has influenced his instrumentation, creating a fusion of funk, jazz, and gospel that allows him to transcend genre. -------- ALL SALES ARE FINAL - NO REFUNDS Important Information for Ticket Holders Entry Policy: This is a 21+ event .
