Danny Paul Grody + Chuck Johnson + Claire Cronin + Daniel Bachman 9p $5

Danny Paul Grody is a solo musician and founding member of San Francisco based bands Tarentel, The Drift, Believer, and Moholy-Nagy. He is a self taught guitarist, and the melodies at the core of Danny’s songwriting bring to mind his love of West African kora, Tacoma style fingerpicking and all things minimal, repetitive & hypnotic. His first solo album Fountain was released in 2010 on Root Strata followed up by In Search Of Light on the Students Of Decay label in 2011. He is currently working on new material for his third solo album scheduled for release later this year on the wonderful Three Lobed Recordings … more on that soon! http://soundcloud.com/dannypaulgrody http://dannypaulgrody.wordpress.com/

Chuck Johnson is a composer and musician residing in Oakland, CA. He approaches his work with an ear towards finding faults and instabilities that might reveal latent beauty, and with a focus on American Primitive fingerstyle guitar, experimental electronics, and minimalist composition. In 2010 Chuck Johnson was featured on the Beyond Berkeley Guitar comp on Tompkins Square, and in 2011 I released an album of solo acoustic guitar on Strange Attractors Audio House: http://strangeattractorsaudiohouse.bandcamp.com/album/a-struggle-not-a-thought. In the Spring of 2013 Johnson will be on a Northwest and West Coast tour with Danny Paul Grody, both in support of (in anticipation of) their respective solo releases on Threelobed Recordings. www.chuckjohnson.net http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7uCMJ3gDzZQ
