Dear all,
just a quick reminder - this weekend, the DC area is chock full of Jon Matis shows:
Saturday, March 17: Eigenvalues (featuring the fabulous Cameron McPhee) will be performing at Sangha in Takoma Park, part of their "Audio Vortex" series. Also on the bill - Jack Wright's trio featuring Toshi Makihara (drums) and Evan Lipson (bass). Jack is a legendary free-improv sax player. Toshi is, well, indescribably fantastic, and Evan is quite a talent. He and I played together last spring during Sound Exchange in Philadelphia. They are going to blow the doors off the place. Our set will be good too. We'll be premiering two new pieces. One of them is about our dog.

Sunday, March 18: The debut performance by my new ensemble, The Low End String Quartet. We will rock you.
Like no other string quartet can rock you. We're opening for my friend, Chris Black, who is coming all the way from Austin, Texas. He plays a big ol' stand up bass and sings songs and he's really really good. It's going to be a grand night of low pitched string music. Check out Chris' myspace page and listen to his songs. They are totally cool and you will love it. You should round up all your friends and come out on Sunday night. Seriously. Chris Black is the sort of artist you hear and think, "how come I didn't know about him a long time ago? His music is awesome!" You want to hear him now, before he gets huge and can't play small venues like Warehouse Next Door. Follow the link below for complete details... show at 8:30, $8.
