Circuit Parade and Marit Bergman

Tuesday, November 3rd
Admission:
$10, $10 minimum
Showtime:
8pm
reservations are recommended

Circuit Parade features the talents of New York session keyboardist Joe McGinty, exploring the worlds of classic pop songwriting and arranging, experimental electronics and collective improvisation. The lineup features McGinty on vocals and keyboards, Mike McGinnis on woodwinds, Eleanor Norton on cello, and Leon Dewan on his handmade analog synthesizers.

Marit Bergman is a popstar in Sweden but now lives in Brooklyn where she writes songs on her rusty old Wurlitzer piano. Born and raised on Abba- anthems, punk rock and Mary J Blige, her signature style is consequently catchy, energetic and emotional.

Her latest album, the Tear collector, was released in March earlier this year and takes inspiration from Rachmaninov, Alice Coltrane, 70s disco, from life and loss, death and resurrection.

Her Monkey Town set will be a semi acoustic adventure, and she will be graced by the precense of percussion, cello, and magical songstress Larkin Grimm on backing vocals.
