8pm- Grey Alone
Genre: Ambient music, soul music, devotional music
For fans of: Billie Holiday, Meshell Ndegeocello, John Cage, Arvo Part, Bill Frisell
Grey has played guitar and sang in very big rooms, very small rooms, with people that many people know, and people that not quite as many people know. He uses the guitar to build distant environments, and uses his voice to sing and say the words that he means to say. In his own music he tries to find ways to make the parts that he likes, last longer than they actually do. Not forcefully, but thoughtfully, and hopefully not boringly. He will try very hard for you.
" [Grey's] effortlessly lyrical high tenor can easily lead anyone to imagine So Percussion is really Michael McDonald and the Doobie Brothers goofing off."
- Peter Goddard The Toronto Star
about grey mcmurray and itsnotyouitsme -
“Reasonable listeners may disagree as to whether the ambient, post-Minimalist music produced by the duo itsnotyouitsme — Caleb Burhans, violinist, and Grey McMurray, guitarist — is chamber music or rock. But that’s beside the point: these musicians live in both worlds, and their instrumental meditations are structurally fascinating and at times meltingly beautiful.”
- Allan Kozinn The New York Times

Avi Fox-Rosen lives, works, and plays in Brooklyn, NY. On the first day of each month of 2013, Avi releases an original EP of brand new music produced by him, for you. start listening.
Avi leads a rock band called Double Double. And he also plays guitar with many wonderful people in many wonderful places. Bands include Yiddish Princess, .357 Lover, Benjy Fox-Rosen's Hayse Trer, Basya Schechter, Daniel Kahn, Frank London, Aftselokhes Auxiliary Music Brigade, and many more.
“It’s funky, carnivalesque and mystifyingly multistylistic – if there’s a genre this guy can’t write in, it isn’t apparent here… With a noir undercurrent matched by vividly aphoristic black humor, guitarist Fox-Rosen sings with a cool, suave, deviously jazzy vocal delivery that’s well-suited to the lyrics – think Donald Fagen’s equally gifted, more ill-at-ease bastard stepchild.”
