NIGHT MUSIC
VERDIN BROTHERS
Friday, July 17th, 10pm
The Ship Pub, 265 Duckworth St.
$10 at the door | 19+
Verdin Brothers is a collaborative project between multi-instrumentalists Peter (St. John’s, NL), Andrew and Mark Verdin (Minneapolis, MN). Building from a foundation of steel-string guitar, upright bass, and percussion, they play deranged instrumental folk music that blends elements of American Primitive guitar, traditional string band, musique concrète, and soundscape compositions. With a fascination for the occult and a keen ear for melody and unique instrumentation, their music is an alembic in which the traditional is transmuted into the experimental, where in pursuit of the celestial monochord they track the crooked byroads of folk and linger in its dark pockets and eerie configurations.
WHAT IS NIGHT MUSIC?
After the concerts are finished and the installations are closed, a whole new happening begins: Night Music at the Ship Pub. At the Ship, a host performer, band or collective will take to the stage and warm up the audience with a set of original music. Then, after a short break, the floor opens up: Symposium guests and others are invited to join the jam – and the fun begins. We self organize into smaller groups, or just all jump in! We first did Night Music as a project at Symposium 2002. And it has now been running as a monthly improv event in St. John’s at the Ship for over 20 years. The Ship Pub is a legend in its own right: it’s the birthplace of countless collaborations, the inspiration for others, and the favoured watering hole of many Newfoundland artists. Where better to jam late into the night? Night Music is directed by Craig Squires. Bring your instrument and talk to Craig about participating. Everyone is welcome!
