Organized By The Loft @ UCSD
9500 Gilman Drive #0077,La Jolla (32.879426, -117.235852)
Cross-genre pianist/songwriter/composer Josh Weinstein's 2006 release Brooklyn Is Sinking was among WFUV and npr.org's "Best CDs of 2006," and his breakthrough 2009 release was licensed by MTV and played on more than 300 radio stations worldwide. Hubbub UK noted his "Superb songwriting, bags of musical talent [and] dark and gritty lyrics"; Americana-UK calls Weinstein's sound "the seedy neon of Times Square refracted through dirty puddles." His live show includes free improv and junkyard percussion, and navigates through elements of blues, jazz, modern rock and spoken word. At the Loft, Weinstein will be debuting material from an upcoming album, as well as reexamining cuts from Love & Alcohol and earlier releases. Supporting the evening is Trio Gadjo, a lighthearted and talented trio inspired by the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt and an array of many other styles. This evening includes a Loft Art Reception: Moleskins & Rattlesnake Scales, by Shane Moise and Rattle Jake. **** Doors 7:30pm Show 8:00pm FREE!!! **** Performing with Josh Weinstein: - Tommy Babin - bass - Chris Golinsky - drums - Ben Zinn - guitar - Judith Hamann - cello
