Sunday May 3 * 4pm * $15-30 * REGISTER
a workshop on the history of grassroots organization in avant-garde music and tactics for organizing within the scene today!
alana amore colvin (she/they) is a brooklyn based avant-garde guitarist and composer. Their sound sits somewhere in the balance between soft intimate tones and raw distorted noise all in celebration of guitar and afro-folkloric traditions. She is compared to Hiroshi Yoshimura as often as she is compared to Jimi Hendrix.
you can catch colvin playing with Ryan Easter’s Trap Music Orchestra and Selendis Alexander Sebastian Johnson’s Big Band. In smaller context she is 50% of the improv guitar duo, military kids (featuring Nathan Chamberlain), 33% of unspecified trio (featuring Connner Simmons & Sunjay Jayaram), and can often be found hanging around Alfredo Colon, Mali Obomsawin, Lemuel Marc, and Cameron Campbell.
their debut EP, huckleberries & lullabies, is out everywhere except spotify. might be a cool listen...
