Selim Sesler in Concert with Guest Star Brenna MacCrimmon Presented by Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater in association with the Moon and Stars Project Tickets: $30 For tickets and additional information please call (212) 229-1207 or visit http://www.moonandstarsproject.org. Dubbed by the well-known British newspaper, The Guardian, as “The Coltrane of the Clarinet,” Selim Sesler is a true master at work when playing his Thracian gypsy tunes. Gaining experience and recognition by playing at weddings and restaurants, Sesler and his band have become popular in Turkey for their original arrangements of classic Turkish folk songs. On his latest album 'Anatolian Wedding', Sesler worked with world music producers Ben Mandelson and Rob Keyloch to rediscover classic wedding songs collected from the four corners of Turkey. The outcome is a modern rendering of a centuries-old repertoire that allows listeners to rediscover old favorites now flush with fresh dimensions. In 1998 Sesler toured Canada with Brenna MacCrimmon, a chance that afforded him the opportunity to showcase his Turkish Roman and Rumelian style of playing the clarinet to an international audience. Together with his clarinet, Sesler has also appeared in Fatih Akın's widely lauded films Head On and Crossing the Bridge. Selim Sesler has played at important festivals in countries such as Germany, France, and Sweden. Over the past two years Sesler has performed at many special concerts and taught at music workshops across the U.S. “And to hear the exquisitely winding clarinet of Selim Sesler as he continues his exploration of the folk music played preceding and during Anatolian weddings is to be seduced through time and space, dragged off to one of the world’s great cultural clearing houses.” Damian Rafferty, FLY Guide to Global Music Culture

Hamell on Trial
Where: Comix

Comix is proud to present bad ass singer/songwriter, joke-telling Hamell On Trial for one night only on Monday, April 16th at 8:00 PM. Hamell On Trial defies all musical categories. The terms “Punk acoustic” and “anti-folk” come close to describing his musical style. If you’re looking for cum-bye-yah by some soft-strumming, tearful folkie, Hamell On Trial is going to offend you. On stage his raw, bold energy has Rolling Stone magazine calling him a “homicidal Otto Preminger.” “Choochtown”, his first record on his own recording label Such a Punch Media, received a 5-star review in Uncut magazine ("Absolutely brilliant!"), and Hamell’s first European tour met with sold-out shows in London and Ireland. With his battered 1937 small-body Gibson, Hamell checks the pulse of the nation and gives it to us straight. And we're glad he does.
