Jessica Stuart x Michael Davidson - [excerpt 2]

One of the city's busier musicians, Jessica Stuart's other contexts include fronting her namesake indie soul-prog trio and serving in Canada's finest Radiohead tribute band, and I'd been hoping to have her do some experimenting at TCB for quite a while now. Not only did Stuart bring out a vintage Ibanez delay pedal to explore with, she also enlisted the assistance of Michael Davidson, the city's #1 vibraphone guy (purveyor of Monk's Music and found in a wide range of ensembles) who himself wanted to try out a loop pedal. That let them explore some lovely soundscapes, as well push further outside from that zone, a very pleasing encounter to round out the night.

[You can find Jessica Stuart playing all over the city, but your next chance will be Thursday (August 30th) at her extra-early-slot Tranzac residency, trading some songs with Harley Card. Track Could Bend will be back downstairs at Wenona next Tuesday (September 4th), featuring sets from Saturn City, Sarah Tracy and Very Many.]
