Grateful for two fantastic evenings opening shows for Sunn O))). Greg and Stephen not only make killer music, but they’re such warm, welcoming souls and genuine music freaks, and they’ve assembled a touring team that reflects their m.o. Major props!

John Corbett and I will have a conversation and I'll play a set of solo lap-steel music. It should be an apt entree into The Kitchen's programming that weekend, with performances and talks with Jason Moran, Claire Chase, Ikue Mori, Mary Halvorson, Tomeka Reid, and more.
