    About This Event

    William Matheny, Emily Frembgen and Latvian Radio play Mercury Lounge in a three-act bill. Matheny brings melody-driven, Americana-tinged songwriting and multi-instrumental experience from projects like Southeast Engine and The Paranoid Style; Frembgen offers club-rooted rhythm, textural sequencing and restrained improvisation honed on the late-night basement circuit at Purgatory; Latvian Radio moves between spare, process-minded pop and choral-minimalist textures.
