    About This Event

    At Pianos, Stereo Mandrax shares a bill with Peter Stampfel’s Atomic Meta-Pagans, Spectre Folk and Joshua Burkett. Stampfel, a founding member of the Holy Modal Rounders and a presence in the 1960s New York folk revival, brings old‑time fiddle and psychedelic-folk repertoire; Stereo Mandrax offers a collaborative, economy-driven rock/pop set that leans toward downtown experimentalism.
