ORBITING HUMAN CIRCUS QUARTET & ORCHESTRA
with THE MUSIC TAPES
On stage for the very first time: the full group that made 2023’s Quartet Plus Two and much of the music and stories behind the beloved Orbiting Human Circus podcast (Nightvale/NPR). These limited debut performances from The Music Tapes, Julian Koster (Neutral Milk Hotel, Elephant 6) and Robbie Cucchiaro’s (Nana Grizol) will take the magic of the Music Tapes already legendary live shows, where one can expect the entirely unexpected, to a whole new level, promising a night unlike any other!

CAROL CLEVELAND SINGS
Carol Cleveland Sings is the audio/visual art pop project of Thomas Hughes and Gretchen Lohse. With a focus on melodic songcraft, the duo specializes in lush orchestration and dreamy vocal harmonies. For live performances, they are joined by multi-instrumentalist Eric Hartman, creating playful arrangements that span from psychedelia to Tin Pan Alley. These melodic hooks are underpinned by melancholic lyrical themes such as ghosts, anxiety, and other existential dilemmas. In addition to their music, they create musique concrète-inspired video art that deconstructs popular music note-by-note using a wide range of instruments, such as toy pianos and marxophone.
