Love Garden Sounds presents the debut concert of the Abstraction Series, in conjunction with the Lawrence Arts Center and the support of the City of Lawrence. The Abstraction Series will present notable contemporary avant garde, ambient, and improvised music to stages in Lawrence.
Gregory Uhlmann is a guitarist, composer, and producer from Chicago living in Los Angeles. His musical palette embraces beautiful warble-y sounds, low fuzzy vibrations, and playful rhythms that overlap in surprising ways. His often-otherworldly guitar tones and syncopated picking style are immediately recognizable across a vast array of musical collaborations, and that distinction while maintaining a shapeshifting flexibility is no small feat. His work as a solo artist ranges from cleverly arranged chamber-folk songwriting to beautifully abstract experimental jazz-informed instrumental compositions, and his latest album, Extra Stars, explores that latter territory to a deeper degree than ever before. This new work, his solo debut for International Anthem, pulls Uhlmann even further into the spotlight while showcasing his knack for directing the talent of his community of collaborators.
The Josh Adams, Shawn E Hansen and Sterling Holman Trio, all with roots in Kansas City, open the evening with an improvised performance with nods to the 2016 album "Want Cry Love” album. Hansen and Holman regularly record together as SHSH and Adams works as a touring drummer and percussionist alongside artists such as Jenny Lewis, Tim Heidecker and Jon Batiste.
Tickets will be available at the Lawrence Arts Center Box Office and Online. The concert will be held at the Lawrence Arts Center Main Theater on Saturday September 12th at 7pm.
