Spontaneous. No setlists. Dark, whimsical, & groove-focused.
The Eclectic Groove Symposium is a curated gathering for listeners who crave adventurous, instrumental, improvised & composed music, performed by contemporary live musicians.
May this be the first of many wild sonic journeys.
Curated & presented by Brett Tiede.
About Skunk Jesus:
Skunk Jesus creates music in real time, letting simple ideas grow into songs and then open back up again. Each set moves as one long arc — a theme appears, becomes something solid, and eventually finds its way somewhere new.
At the core is a trio — Riley Stockwell (guitar), Mike Dettorre (drums), and Shon Gordon (bass) — joined by a rotating group of players who bring new voices into the sound. Original songs act as landing points inside these larger journeys, giving each performance both shape and surprise.
Rather than a series of separate tunes, a Skunk Jesus show feels like one unfolding moment — guided by listening, risk, and the energy of the room.
About Summer The Winter:
Summer the Winter is an instrumental band formed by Jonathan Blakeslee, Ted Ehlers, Jim Rioux and Josh Shaheen in 2021. The band evolved from creating spontaneous music at Sunday jam sessions in drummer Jim Rioux's crooked red barn in Kittery.
