Nels Cline: Music from Lovers plus Big Lazy
CAP | 8 p.m., Royce Hall
Guitar explorer Nels Cline is best known these days as the lead guitarist in the band Wilco. His recording and performing career – spanning jazz, rock, punk, and experimental – is well into its fourth decade, with over 160 recordings, including at least 30 as bandleader. Rolling Stone anointing him as both one of 20 “new guitar gods” and one of the top 100 guitarists of all time. This all new project (supporting Nels' next album release Lovers) amasses a 18 piece band of some of Cline’s most gifted collaborators.
Big Lazy is the instrumental trio from New York City. Their music dwells in the unmistakable landscape of gritty yet gracefully crafted American music. Simultaneously noir and pastoral, gothic and modern, Big Lazy conjures images of everything from big sky country to seedy back rooms. With sparse instrumentation—electric guitar, acoustic bass and drums—the trio creates richly evocative soundscapes with a distinctly narrative quality and an undeniable sense of place.
