Other In Situ Events
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.
In Situ: Corinne Bailey Rae
August 2, 2016 - 10:00pm Originally the front-woman of an indie band, Corinne Bailey Rae's music spans indie, electronic, soul and experimental. Bailey Rae has just completed her highly anticipated third studio album and she recently performed in Los Angeles for The Grammys’ MusiCares Foundation with Pharrell, The Roots and Leon Bridges just prior to the first track launch and album announcement.

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: Norman Krieger
Mar 20, 2016 - 12:00pm Krieger’s recital is a celebration of the virtuosic pianist/composers who, for the last two centuries, have written influential music for the piano. Through their work, Beethoven, Chopin, Gershwin and Lazarof celebrate the infinite myriads of dynamics, color, passion and what is often called the universal language.
In Situ: Joel Harrison & Infinite Possibility
July 6, 2016 - 7:00pm This new work takes up and expands upon where my first large ensemble cd (Infinite Possibility, 2013) left off, a mixture of jazz, funk, new music, gospel, keening ballads, and corkscrew meters.
