Caley Conway + Em Spel (Chicago, IL) + Wandering Nerve
Friday, April 10th @ 7:30pm
At the Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts - 926 East Center Street
Rooted in folk but hardly bound to it, Caley Conway's inventive style ranges from jazz to post-rock, hints at the familiar, and embraces a dissonant beauty. The Milwaukeean's breezy voice and disarming wit belie a deep sonic complexity, bringing a new set of rules to the singer-songwriter paradigm.
Praised by the Chicago Classical Review for her “standout” and “joyful” playing, Emma Hospelhorn is a flutist whose creative practices resist easy categorization. As a member of Ensemble Dal Niente, she has premiered and recorded works by composers including George Lewis, Hilda Paredes, Erin Gee, Jeff Parker, Igor Santos, Anthony Cheung, and many more. She performs with a wide variety of improvising ensembles, folk, and pop groups, and additional collaborations include a working duo for instruments and homemade circuits with cellist Katinka Kleijn, as well as stints with Manual Cinema, the Neo-Futurists, Lookingglass Theatre, and Silk Road Rising. She also writes and performs experimental folk music as Em Spel.
Wandering Nerve is the solo project of Milwaukee-based musician John Larkin (Angelica, Lightninging).
