Opening reception at Mayo Street Arts

Saturday May 8th: Second Saturday Jazz Session with Alan Lowe and friends. Alto saxophonist Allen Lowe leads a quartet in a program of essentially blues forms. Lowe, who has a CD set to come out next fall with Roswell Rudd and Matt Shipp, is a veteran of New York's 1990s Knitting Factory scene, where he recorded with Julius Hemphill, Don Byron, and David Murray. The VIllage Voice has described his playing as "suggesting both Sonny Rollins at his most jocular and Jimmy Giuffre at his most rustic…his music reflects a fullness of experience missing from the etudes of those who have made jazz the sound of no surprise." Anthony Braxton has called Lowe "an American master." Flappers, jazz musicians & wannabees should bring an instrument to sit in with the band. 8pm.

Former strangers Jocelyn Mackenzie, Emily Hope Price, and Jeremy Styles were united in the great city of New York. Each had migrated there from a far corner of the nation with naught but food in their pockets and money in their bellies. Each had the same true love. Since then, the three have nested, and their unique brand of brightly melodic songcraft continues to blossom of its own accord.Friday May 21st: Kit Demos with Kevin Frenette and Forbes Graham 8pm.

melody.With extensive touring planned, a new EP, Calling You Out, as well as
a recent Daytrotter Session, Netherfriends is poised to be the band
you wish you could say you heard first." http://www.myspace.com/
