INTAR THEATER PRESENTS: ROOTS MUSIC PREVIEW @ INTAR
Guitar-centric performances by three of NYC’s grooviest roots, Americana, and alt-surf bands and musicians. It will be a night of virtuosic guitar work, down home sounds, and interstellar surfing.
9:00PM THE GOTHAM ROOTS ORCHESTRA
8:10PM MICHAEL GOMEZ & GUESTS
7:30PM DOG ADRIFT
The bilingual Americana/blues GOTHAM ROOTS ORCHESTRA, New York City music veteranos, use American roots musics, bad-ass guitars, and ready-to-stomp beats as a reference point for their chingón sound.
Michael Gomez (Natalie Merchant, Wormwood, Bootleg Remedy, Hazmat Modine, Greta Gertler & The Extroverts) leads his band from hot jazz and swing to delta blues and early country - mixing the fingerpicking style of a Blind Lemon Jefferson with jazz inflected lines inspired by Charlie Christian, Sun Ra covers and original compositions. Soulful performances of original and traditional roots music.
Dog Adrift is a music group led by guitarist Michael Quoma and featuring members of New York's rock, jazz, and contemporary music scene. "Part Thrill Jockey, part surf-rocky," the group plays compositions that wind their way through tempos and timbres, while Telecaster and Nord-driven melodies give way to free improvisations and pedalboard interference.
