SUMMARY:Called to Response: Thomas McLamb Explores Patrick Dougherty: A Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:Thomas McLamb is an experimental guitarist with a background in punk\, hardcore\, noise\, and ambient sound design. His approach to music\, combining both guitars and synthesizers\, is inspired by other experimental guitar players like Derek Bailey\, Jim O’Rourke\, and Thurston Moore as well as avant-garde composers like Roland Kayn\, Morton Subotnick\, and Éliane Radigue. \nMcLamb will perform two pieces responding to Patrick Daugherty’s Pilgrimage. The first piece\, ‘modes of production\,’ responds to the collection of work gloves and uses many different sound sources to create a wall of harmonic sound. The second piece\, ‘canonization’\, responds to Daugherty’s stickwork technique\, looping guitars and synthesizers inspired by Daugherty’s interwoven stick sculptures. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Sam Bush at The App Theatre
DESCRIPTION:On a Bowling Green\, Kentucky cattle farm in the post-war 1950s\, Bush grew up an only son\, and with four sisters. His love of music came immediately\, encouraged by his parents’ record collection and\, particularly\, by his father Charlie\, a fiddler\, who organized local jams. Charlie envisioned his son someday a staff fiddler at the Grand Ole Opry\, but a clear day’s signal from Nashville brought to Bush’s television screen a tow-headed boy named Ricky Skaggs playing mandolin with Flatt and Scruggs\, and an epiphany for Bush. At 11\, he purchased his first mandolin. \n As a teen fiddler Bush was a three-time national champion in the junior division of the National Oldtime Fiddler’s Contest. He recorded an instrumental album\, Poor Richard’s Almanac as a high school senior and in the spring of 1970 attended the Fiddlers Convention in Union Grove\, NC. There he heard the New Deal String Band\, taking notice of their rock-inspired brand of progressive bluegrass. \nWebsite
