The Nth Annual BAYIMPROVISER TRANSBAY SKRONKATHON
is an all-day marathon of experimental and weird music featuring some of the Bay Area's best creative musicians. Launched back in 2001 at the Tuva Space storefront venue near the Ashby BART station, the SKRONKATHON was created to showcase this diverse community of musicians, united by a keen sense of inhabiting a fragile realm far outside mainstream music tastes.
A co-presentation with http://bayimproviser.com (the most reliable place to find out about concerts of this music!) the WEST OAKLAND SOUND SERIES is pleased to once again host this unique annual event.
With 19 acts utilizing the Dresher Ensemble Studio and a second stage in the warehouse, this event is a great way to sample what the scene has to offer! Come to hear just a few sets, or the entire 9 hours. A suggested donation of $10-$25 (cash or venmo at the door; or online via the series' eventbrite page https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nth-annual-bayimproviser-transbay-skronkathon-tickets-997302698217) goes towards assistance with WEST OAKLAND SOUND SERIES costs (venue rental, Bösendorfer piano tuning and insurance).
