About We Were Fridays
At National Sawdust, VisionIntoArt’s in-residence program presents *We Were Fridays* (Matinee), a jazz-leaning offshoot from a collective more often associated with rock and pop textures. The project sits in VisionIntoArt’s ongoing practice of building hybrid evenings where music shares the frame with literary source material and spoken language. In New York, this kind of cross-disciplinary format has become a recurring local vocabulary, and *We Were Fridays* uses it with restraint rather than spectacle. The result reads as a portrait of how stories travel when musicians treat text as a score.
