The versatile and nimble ensemble of New York based musicians share conservatory training and an adventurous spirit. Individually and collectively they have collaborated with a wide variety of musicians and performed an ambitious range of music. Their contributions can be heard in performances and recordings from artists from Jay-Z, Bjork, The New York Philharmonic, David Byrne, Meredith Monk to Sufjan Stevens.
St Vincent, featuring Annie Clark, released Actor in 2009 and found themselves included in many best of the year lists. The combination of Clark’s guitar work, vocals and arrangements have been described as consistently captivating. Her recent collaborations include an appearance on David Byrne’s record, and a new “group” with Justin Vernon, “Songer Singwriter” for a Haiti benefit. At MusicNOW she will premiere new work written for the occasion.
Justin Vernon (in Bon Iver), burst into the public consciousness with the release of For Emma and the story of music recorded in a Wisconsin cabin. Vernon can also be found in Volcano Choir and contributing the “Big Red Machine” track to the Dark Was the Night compilation.
Colin Stetson is a versatile wind and brass player who can be heard solo performing his latest, New History of Warfare. He has lent his voice to a number of other recordings and performances, including Arcade Fire, Tom Waits, TV on the Radio. Recently he has been touring with Bell Orchestre in support of their most recent Juno nominated release, As Seen Through Windows.
