Concert Listings Roundup #309

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.

Gig of the week:

Jazz and Otherwise Improvised Musics (feat. American Standard Trio w/ Kayla Milmine and Mira Martin-Gray / Cory Harper-Latkovich) / Wenona Lodge 2019-07-09 (Tuesday) [FB event]

There'll be less "jazz" and more "otherwise" at this great double-header at Andrew Furlong's regular second-Tuesday-of-the-month excursion at Wenona. The electroacoustic explorers of the AST will be expanding to a quintet with two amazing guest performers, while Harper-Latkovich will be offering "a new version of the amplified solo cello set Verge/Resolve I've been developing for the past two years."
