Ralph White & Friends Sit In @ Cheer Up Charlie's - Wed. 4/27
Ralph White & Friends Sit In:
Ralph White · Venison Whirled · Jonathan Horne · T Putnam Hill
Avant-garde outsider music collage artist Ralph White performs and sits in to improvise with talented experimental musician friends, Venison Whirled, Jonathan Horne, and T Putnam Hill for a noteworthy mid-week night of music. Four remarkable Austin musicians, one remarkable improvised set.
As a self-taught master of many instruments, from American and world folk traditions, Ralph White infuses an experimental approach to original songs, and the arrangement of covers. Featured in the Austin Chronicle Music Anthology, White is best known in Texas music history as the fiery fiddler from the Bad Livers, but he has been blazing another trail, touring across the U.S. and Europe as an unusually entertaining interpreter of traditional folk songs who also enjoys the art of experimental and improvisational music.
Venison Whirled is most familiar and comfortable creating another world of sound that requires an active listening passport to traverse beyond familiar comfort zones. Ambient noises can be heard from common to unusual objects during a Venison Whirled trip, guided by the musician also known as Lisa Cameron (ST 37, The Devil Bat).
Jonathan Horne is a colorful and versatile Austin music character. Horne practices the art of music improvisation as a multi-instrumentalist, but he’s best known for eclectically stellar jazz/rock fusion guitar performances, as a soloist and with Plutonium Farmers, which will soon release a debut album engineered by Steve Albini.
T Putnam Hill recently relocated from San Diego, where he started composing electronic/acousmatic/dub music, and he's still producing some of the most unique and entertaining collaborations with traditional folk stylists, and experimental noise and theatrical performers in Austin.
When Ralph White sits in with friends, expect the unexpected – and expect to be entertained by the finest musical improvisers.
Ralph White & Friends Sit In is a free event at Cheer Up Charlie’s on Wednesday, April 27th, presented by Anti-Gravity. Doors open at 8:00, and music starts at 9:00.
RSVP @ Do512, Facebook, or Plancast.
