    About This Event

    At the Knitting Factory, Thin Lear, Adam Lytle, Charlie Kaplan and Damon Smith form a varied late-night lineup that mixes song, improvisation and visual practice. Thin Lear's elegiac, melancholic songwriting and Adam Lytle's singer‑songwriter material sit alongside Charlie Kaplan's room‑aware free‑form karaoke improvisations and Damon Smith's practice in landscape and aerial photography and documentary film.
