In Situ: Emel Mathlouthi
Oct 12, 2015 • 7pm
Firebrand Tunisian composer and singer-songwriter Emel Mathlouthi is one of the great voices of the Arab world. She gained widespread attention when her song “Kelmti Horra (My Word is Free)” became an anthem of the Arab Spring revolutionaries. Her intricate sound moves between rock and electronica, with strong Arabic and North African connections alongside Western influences ranging from Joan Baez to Björk.

In Situ: Daughter
Apr 04, 2016 -9:00pm Question: just how do you go about trying to match an album as peerless, wholly immersive, and as widely acclaimed and adored as Daughter's 2013 debut 'If You Leave?' Simple: up the ante on every level. Building on that record's gloriously dark intensity, wracked emotion and come-hither diaphanous textures, 'Not To Disappear,' the new full-length release from the London-based trio -- singer/guitarist Elena Tonra, guitarist/producer Igor Haefeli and drummer Remi Aguilella -- is a mighty declaration of intent.

In Situ: BombaYo
Apr 09, 2016 - 7:00pm Bomba was developed in Puerto Rico over 300 years ago by enslaved Africans from parts of West Africa and the Kongo region and also includes influences from the Spanish colonizers and native Taino people. Bomba is more of an experiencethan a show. It's where singing, dancing and drumming come together in a community celebration of life. Boricuas on the island and stateside are reviving this tradition and in turn uncovering part of their cultural heritage.
NS & Gigwax Present: No Regular Play
Apr 22, 2016 - 10:00pm No Regular Play are a duo equally at home in the rehearsal rooms of Julliard as in the main room of Fabric. Emotive and unapologetically organic, their fluid approach unites more than a lifetime of influences. Their impressive live show, which features Paulus’ inimitable trumpet and vocals alongside DeBruyn’s masterful manipulation of the rhythm and soundscapes bridges the gap between the indie arena and the heartbeat of the dancefloor.
Jazz for Kids: Timbalooloo

Nikara Warren Presents: Black Wall Street
June 18, 2016 - 10:00pm In the early 1900s America’s most affluent Black neighborhood boasted over 600 Black owned businesses, including schools, markets and hospitals. Although Greenwood, Oklahoma’s population was destroyed by local rioting Whites (including the KKK, police force and National Guard) in one of this country’s largest and most unspoken massacres of our history, Nikara Warren pays tribute to Black Wall Street in attempt to create an open discussion for all people about supporting people of color in business, education and the arts. “Black music is a treasure to be uplifted, not destroyed” Nikara Warren
