Cass McCombs
Where: Jammin' Java
Date: 2007-11-15 00:00:00
Type:
Catch this exciting performance of Baltimore-based singer/songwriter Cass McCombs' moody but often surprisingly humorous music. Cass McCombs is best known for the album 'Not the Way,' released in 2002. After years of recording in relative seclusion in the hills of Los Angeles, Ariel Pink makes a rare live appearance. His official debut album, 'The Doldrums,' was recorded at home with a guitar, bass, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds are all unbelievably created with his mouth) Pink blends Lite FM and warped lo-fi pop into something beautiful and confusing, yet highly addictive.
Midori, Violinist
Where: Kennedy Center Millennium Stage
Date: 2008-02-14 19:30:00
Type:
Her debut at age six drew standing ovations, and a year later, her talents made Pinchas Zuckerman weep with awe and joy. At age 14, The New York Times gave her talent front-page coverage. Ever since, Midori has dazzled her ever-growing international following with brilliant interpretations of violin masterworks. Taking its name from the Spanish artist Joan Miro, whose original artworks drew from the realm of memory and imaginative fantasy, the quartet has captivated audiences with its youthful intensity and mature interpretations of traditional and contemporary classical works.
Jimmy Sommers
Where: Birchmere
Date: 2008-02-17 19:30:00
Type:
Enjoy the smooth and soulful sounds of saxophonist Jimmy Sommers. His infectious alto sax playing has proven time and again to be a sound at once dramatic, spirited and funky, yet seductive and unabashedly romantic. After living his dream of songwriting for ten years, Gordon Chambers presents his own velvety voice featuring his classic R&B style with hints of his first love: jazz.

Today Is the Day
Where: Ottobar
Date: 2008-03-16 18:30:00
Type:
Stemming from the diabolic metal scene of Rochester, New York -- the birthplace of such exaggerated sounds as Kalibas, Sulaco and Lethargy -- comes the mathcore extremists known as PsyOpus. This project's conception was formed during the fall of 2002 by the unorthodox guitar work of Christopher "Arpmandude" Arp, Rochester's regional winner of 2001s Limp Bizkit Guitarist Search and the technical absurdness of grind drummer Greg Herman. Finalizing the line up with bass player virtuoso Fred DeCoste and the "in your face" antics of vocalist Adam Frapolli, PsyOpus have become an intrinsic formula for sonically unyielding violence and insanity.
