Theoxenia is a duo of Dave Shuford (No Neck Blues Band, D. Charles Speer, Rhyton) and Margot Bianca (The Assault, Frankie Rose and the Outs, Black Dirt Oak) and takes influence from many corners. Rebetika, drone, laïkó, bluegrass, and global folk-rock forms all blend into a ritualistic brew of sound.
Philadelphia's Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders are joining their pal Bhajan Bhoy for this East Coast tour. The band takes the freaked improvisation of Alexander’s instrumental band, Dire Wolves, into the world of song. Heady songwriting, ethereal jazz and Trad Gras-y blues stomps all feature. Backed by members of Elkhorn and Kohoutek
