Verbal Onslaught

The Big Mean Sound Machine
Friday, February 22 | 9pm–12am

Fusing elements of Afrobeat, 60s Garage Rock, 70s Funk, and Jamaican Dub rhythms, Big Mean Sound Machine cranks out the dirtiest, fattest, grooviest beats to keep you moving all night long.

The N’goni Trio
Saturday, February 23 | 8–11pm

With members of Barika, Rubblebucket, Vorcza Trio, Anais Mitchell, Bombino and Squid City, The N’goni Trio performs a blend of traditional Malian songs based on the kamel n’goni (an African harp from the Wassoulou region of Mali) and improvisational pieces sculpted in the magic of the moment. Join us for a beautifully relaxing night of music and improvisation.
