OBEY Convention IX announces Chicago's Joshua Abrams' Natural Information Society+
Press Release via OBEY Convention
- - -
As we drift through these final days of winter, our festival takes form. An autonomous bloom of aesthetic indulgence and irreverence. It’s growing. The details are locking-up. We’ll be able to announce the entire lineup before the end of the month. There may be a pre-festival event as well. So hold tight. To ease your wait, today we’ve decided to offer up just a taste. A couple sweet jazzers.
We’re thrilled to announce Chicago’s Joshua Abrams’ Natural Information Society. Fire jazz, modal music, zoned spiritualism. Jams for psychic transport. All things. Magnetoception, the band’s latest full length, is easily one of the most exciting jazz albums of the decade. It made best of the year lists on Pitchfork, The Wire, Magnet Magazine and more. Abrams and co. remind us that jazz can indeed be of another dimension.
From a world-renowned trio to a duo of local leaders — OBEY Convention is grateful to nab xxvii for their inaugural festival performance. Consisting of man-about-town sax and keys lightening rod Nick Dourado and recent Juno nominee Andrew MacKelvie, xxvii, like Abrams, swim the cosmic seas of spirit jazz. For us, they’re one of the most exciting projects in Halifax right now.
Also be sure to spend time with the artists we listed last month — Mykki Blanco, Zs, Nadja, Marie Davidson, and New Fries. We’ll announce the full lineup, over 20 more acts, by the end of March. And we’ll tell you about EverySeeker Symposium and Art In Fest in April.
EARLY BIRD PASSES are clearing out but remain available.
More from us soon.
