Advance online tickets are $25.00 general admission, or $20.00 for students (with ID). ALL members receive 10% discount with promo code. Tickets will also be available at the door for $30.
Smith finds endless possibilities in this seemingly limited instrumentation, weaving together varied threads from his divergent earlier projects in ways that sound not quite like any of them. This definitely aint your fathers guitar band, writes no less an expert on six-string subversion than Marc Ribot, who penned the albums liner notes.
