*kindly note: the original support for this show has recently changed… unfortunately Bill Mackay’s tour has been cancelled due to personal reasons.

Six Organs of Admittance – a moniker of Ben Chasny – have built a prolific and diverse body of work over the last 20+ years. Ben Chasny’s project is an experimental amalgam of new and psychedelic folk, drone music, percussion and strange textures, with Chasny delivering an outpouring of eclectic releases in the early 2000s for various small labels before finding a longstanding home on Drag City.

After touring in 2008, Six Organs began what would become a prolific return to force, releasing a further 18 astonishing records up to the current time. First was the release of the sonically expansive – and very electric – Luminous Night, followed by the double-disc retrospective RTZ, both of which appeared on Drag City. Chasny also plays in 200 Years alongside Elisa Ambrogio (of Magik Markers), with Donovan Quinn (Skygreen Leopards) in the project New Bums, and is also a member of tightly-wound improv unit Rangda, accompanied by Sir Richard Bishop and Chris Corsano.

Six Organs also recently released a fully solo album Time Is Glass, which consists of haunted, unsettled rural folk sounds. With Time is Glass, Six Organs of Admittance is captured once again in the intricate tangle of the fretboards, soaring in open skies above. Like lens flare cutting through the speakers; spider-webs cracking the windshield that holds back all the onrushing reality. Blowing the dust away, cutting a new path for cognition.

Mazozma
A guitarist with a shimmering, incandescent skill-set – “a life preserver, a tonic.” With songs that drone in a haze of acoustic psychedelia, Mazozma (US/UK) incorporate outsider singer/songwriter troubadours and apocalyptic folk with the wooded landscapes of Western Massachusetts and seaside scenes of coastal Britain.
