Jeffrey Martin & Anna Tivel

Saturday, September 10th

TICKETS: www.bit.ly/BGINT2

Jeffrey Martin is a songwriter from Portland, Oregon whose music probes the depths of the human experience. Martin’s raw, intense songs can feel like short stories from literary giants like Steinbeck, Burroughs, or Cormac McCarthy. Struggle, hurt, strife, and heartbreak are laid bare and unvarnished, and yet somehow, Martin manages to mine and make space for what considerable beauty remains.

Anna Tivel is a songwriter who also hails from Portland. Her clear-eyed and empathetic music is imbued with attentive detail and a dreamlike quality that leaves the ordinary feeling both palpable and poetic. “Tivel’s characters are common but unforgettable,” NPR’s Ann Powers writes, “Her images linger, and become populated with the energy of the real.”

TEKE::TEKE are a Montreal-based seven-piece. Often frenzied, always engaging, they fuse everything from traditional instrumentation to punk guitar, from the kaleidoscopic Japanese movie soundtrack of the 1960s and 70s to Brazillian psychedelia alike – via trombone, and Mara Kuroki’s extraordinary vocals in her native tongue – TEKE::TEKE have created their own musical universe – one that’s continuously expanding.

Three friends. Multi instrumentalists. Original songs. It’s like rain in your brain, make noise easy. Somewhere in the West lies a New Beast…
