Jon Camp (Washington DC), ragenap + Dathon (Chicago), and Jim Warchol (Milwaukee).
Saturday, October 11th @ 7:00pm
At the Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts - 926 East Center Street
In the age of screens, sampling, and AI there is a concurrent and deep-seated craving for “something real.”
The Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts (JGCA) helps to answer that very human desire by hosting an ongoing schedule of live music performances. Next up: an intriguing triple bill of Jon Camp (from Washington DC), ragenap + Dathon (from Chicago), and Jim Warchol (Milwaukee’s own!) on Saturday evening, October 11.
Jon Camp is a fingerstyle guitarist and composer based in the Washington DC region. Camp blends twang, drone, and melody into a cohesive whole that is exploratory without forsaking the hook. His forthcoming CD/download release, “Proceed” out in October through Centripetal Force Records, is a full-band affair that is electric, expansive, and emotionally muscular, channeling a spirit of forward motion amidst the weight of memory and uncertainty. For Camp’s Jazz Gallery performance, he’ll be in trio mode with Nick Arrivo on bass and Ryan Peterson on drums.
ragenap + Dathon is the collaborative project of Joel Berk (ragenap) and Corey Lyons (Dathon). Together, they weave meditative, intricate, and immersive soundscapes that explore the outer reaches of drone, minimalism, and free improvisation. Each set is a unique journey, building on a foundation of coiled points and harmonic textures before pushing towards a dark star.
Guitarist Jim Warchol has been a fixture on the Milwaukee music scene since the 1980s. He has been a member of bands such as Sometimes Sweet Susan, Loam, and Death Blues. Currently, he is a member of Dryhouse Ruins, an instrumental quartet that will be releasing its debut double LP later this year.
