Jaggery + Sarah Rabdau

Tuesday, March 20
Admission:
$5, $10 minimum
Showtime:
7:30pm and 10pm
reservations are recommended

the brooklyn-based musical collective Jaggery returns from tour tonight for two sets of their unflinchingly unique and arty pop songs. think of a more classical, organic, avant-jazz oriented Cocteau Twin's, or a "white witch" counter to the haunting Diamanda Galas, and you might get the idea. "one of the most beautiful voices in modern music" is how front-woman mali sastri has been described, and tonight she will be flanked by her upright bassist, celtic harp player, and cahon-seated drummer versed in African groove and breakbeat. expect dreamy lullabies, furious, mixed-meter rants, tightly-woven, classically-tinged compositions in odd-time signatures, and catharsis-inducing, barn-burning mini-epics ~ sometimes within the same song.
