SUNDAY, MAY 17TH
SESSA | 8PM - TICKETS HERE
São Paulo artist Sergio Sayeg’s third full-length album, ‘Pequena Vertigem de Amor’ as Sessa is a collection of songs reflecting on his experience of becoming a father that “are a mix of personal chronicles and quiet meditations about life in the face of personal change, of experiencing something so big that you realize your insignificant size in space and time.”
Entwining Tropicalia textures, cosmic soul, and late-night samba-jazz with poetic essence, these songs expand Sessa’s sound in electric, astral, and existential ways, while staying rooted in the deep, tender feeling of lived experience.
MARISA ANDERSON | 8PM - TICKETS HERE
We are excited to announce Marisa Anderson will be playing an intimate show at Out There on Sunday, May 31st.
Named by The New Yorker as “one of the most distinctive guitar players of her generation”, Marisa Anderson toys with traditional compositions of blues, country and gospel, and sprinkles them with abstract electronics and elements of drone. Marisa will be touring behind her new album, The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music which is a collection of nearly one thousand songs culled from the private record collection of the late Harry Smith.
Assembled by Anderson after a chance encounter led to an opportunity to study and explore this treasure trove of music, the Anthology focuses on music from places that the United States has been in conflict with since 1970: Southeast Asia, the USSR and the Arabic and Islamic regions of the world.
Composed, transcribed and arranged through a process of trial and error, deep listening and research, Anderson charts a musical course from Afghanistan to Vietnam via Yemen, Cambodia and Turkmenistan. This album is as much a celebration of music from beyond borders as it is an examination of those borders, real and imagined, that restrict movement and curtail the natural flow of music across the globe.
