Dark Dark Dark Minneapolis’ based chamber-folk band Dark Dark Dark will be making a special appearance in Charleston playing exclusively at Eye Level Art. Headlining will be lead singer and accordionist Nona Nona Marie Invie and vocalist, banjo player Marshall LaCount. Their unique sound draws heavily on Americana and Eastern European influences, referencing a long tradition of wandering musicians and those who have lived deeply. With intricate song-craft and playful sensibilities, Dark Dark Dark uses their small array of age-old instruments to conjure a lush musical vision of the future.
The Tyler Ross Double Trio The Tyler Ross Double Trio features local musicians Kevin Hamilton on bass, Ron Wiltrout on drums, and Nick Jenkins also on drums. Completing the lineup are two electric guitarists, Matt Warnock and Tyler Ross. The resulting instrumentation allows for a multitude of sonic possibilities, and the high level of musicianship amongst the players fosters an environment for exciting improvisations.
In this performance, the Double Trio will be interpreting the classic Miles Davis album “Kind of Blue.” Contrary to the original recording by Davis, expect a high energy groove-based version from the Double Trio. With two inventive drumset players and two accomplished guitarists, anticipate soaring acrobatic guitar/drum features.
Guitarist Matt Warnock will be in town as the featured artist for the College of Charleston Spring Guitar Workshop. Originally hailing from Canada and now residing in Illinois, Warnock is proficient in a multitude of styles and specializes in improvisation. Tyler Ross teaches jazz guitar at the College of Charleston.
