If you like your music spare, unconventional, enthralling, and perhaps slightly unsettling, I recommend you head out to LoFi tonight and/or Gallery 1412 tomorrow to catch a performance from guitarist Terrence McManus, visiting us for a couple days from New York City.
I’d never heard of McManus until quite recently, and I haven’t listened to as much of his music as I’d like, but the guy has a hell of a resume. He’s played with pretty much every incredible NY musician I’ve ever geeked out over (John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Tim Berne, Kermit Driscoll . . . the list goes one), and he looks to be quite an impressive and versatile instrumentalist, improviser, and composer.
Here he is doing a little improv freakout with drummer Gerry Hemingway:
And here’s an intriguing (but all too quiet) video of him doing some solo guitar percussion, which, if you crank up your computer speakers, might give you a better idea of what’s in store tonight and tomorrow:
