SUMMARY:Andrew Fitzpatrick\, Patrick Best at Arts + Literature Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Best’s contributions to both drone and folk music in Wisconsin trace back to Richmond\, Virginia and the formation of Pelt in the 1990s. Performing and recording solo\, as well as with Troy Schafer and Pelt member Mikel Dimmick in Spiral Joy Band\, Best switches among guitar\, viola\, harmonium\, vocals\, and piano. Best’s music often yields a deep listening\, trance-like experience. He tells Tone Madison that his goal for this solo performance at Arts +Lit Lab is to “deepen the trance.” He’ll be building a drone on harmonium and working with a drum loop\, trying something new with elements that have formed the foundation of his musical endeavors for the past 30 years.  \nMadison-based improviser\, guitarist\, and synth manipulator Andrew Fitzpatrick (sometimes operating under the alias Noxroy) plays in a number of projects including Cap Alan\, Volcano Choir\, All Tiny Creatures\, and Bon Iver. While he often collaborates with any number of local experimental artists\, Fitzpatrick performs here solo\, offering an improvised set with guitar and electronics while in between Bon Iver tours. Historically\, solo Fitzpatrick sets offer a hazy\, gauzy warmth interspersed with bright\, gleaming tones that should fill the room at ALL beautifully.  \n—Emili Earhart \nIn the River by Spiral Joy Band\nIllustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

SUMMARY:John & Dan\, Tekla Peterson at Arts + Literature Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Dan Kaufman and percussionist/multi-instrumentalist John Bollinger have covered some truly sprawling territory with each other over the years in the NYC-based outfit Barbez. Since the early 2000s\, that band has twisted its way through eerie experimental rock full of aching melody\, drawing on elements of Eastern European folk music and jagged free jazz with equal fluency. This is not merely a novel combination of surface touches\, either. Technical daring and a deep sense of history run through Barbez’s discography\, which includes multiple projects celebrating the anti-fascist resistance movements of the mid-20th century. (Kaufman is a Madison native\, and indeed we’re talking about the same Dan Kaufman who has chronicled the modern history of Wisconsin politics in his journalism for The New Yorker and The New York Times\, and in his 2018 book The Fall Of Wisconsin.)  \nBollinger and Kaufman also play together as a duo\, simply named John & Dan\, with the kind of expansive looseness that can only come from years of collaboration and focus. On “Rainy Day In Bern\,” Bollinger’s vibraphone cascades gently over Kaufman’s wiry guitar trills and loops\, occasionally giving way to outbursts of dense chords and restive drumkit. The two dig deeper into jagged instrumental rock on the frenetic “Fear Of Midtown” and the downright furious “D&D\,” which begins with a calming vocal interlude before Bollinger lunges in with a bass part of nearly Jesus Lizard proportions—the kind where the impact of pick and string kind of hurts—over the bristling turbulence of his own drums. \nJohn & Dan recorded these and several other tracks in sessions for the project’s forthcoming debut album. They began working on the recordings several years ago with producer Martin Bisi (who has worked with artists including John Zorn\, Brian Eno\, and Sonic Youth)\, and finally finished the tracking in April 2023. They’ll be drawing on that material at this show\, perhaps also incorporating some of Bollinger’s playfully odd videos into the set.  \nOpening up here is Tekla Peterson\, the romantic and tormented synth-pop alter ego of Madison-based musician Taralie Peterson. A veteran of formidable avant-garde projects like Spires That In The Sunset Rise and Louise Bock\, she debuted the Tekla Peterson moniker with the 2022 release of Heart Press. Its six songs blend sugary hooks with the anguished yearning of Peterson’s vocals. \n—Scott Gordon \n \nJohn and Dan · Rainy Day In Bern\n  \nPhoto by Gabrielle Plucknette.

SUMMARY:Feestet (ft. Frank McKearn IV) at North Street Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:Feestet—who have finalized their name after previously appearing as Feest\, Helen Feest Quartet\, and Helen Feest Quintet—have covered a lot of ground as an eccentric jazz act that’s not afraid to take risks. Made up of vocalist Helen Feest\, pianist Luke Leavitt\, bassist Ari Smith\, guitarist Anthony Utehs\, and drummer Matty Benjamin Allen\, Feestet’s musical imprint should be familiar to anyone versed in Madison’s jazz scene. For their forthcoming show at North Street Cabaret\, Feestet will be joined by Frank McKearn IV on EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument). An ancestor of the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument)\, the EVI has a fascinating\, tumultuous history that ultimately ends with its production being abandoned in 1996. As a result\, the instrument—created by studio musician Nyle Steiner in the early 70s—is now considered a relative rarity. \n\nMcKearn—a Beloit native—is presently a Chicago-based audio engineer who has a long history with Madison-based jazz musicians (McKearn cites Darren Sterud as a significant mentor). While McKearn is most often regarded as a trumpet player\, his work of late with the EVI has allowed his reputation within the jazz circuit to take on an additional dimension. On May 11\, Feestet and McKearn are set to perform “a special blend of arranged jazz classics\, collaborations\, and original music\,” per the show description on their website. For attendees\, it’ll be a chance to familiarize themselves with a bit of musical history.  \n—Steven Spoerl \n
