Us v. Them: Celebrating Silent Barn w/ David Longstreth, Haley Fohr, Mal Devisa, Mutual Benefit, and the Wordless Music String Quartet (Roulette Benefit)
About This Event
At Roulette, the benefit "Us v. Them" presents David Longstreth, Haley Fohr, Mal Devisa, Mutual Benefit, and the Wordless Music String Quartet in a program honoring Silent Barn. Longstreth’s work sits between indie rock and contemporary classical and favors compositional detail; Fohr is noted for a four-octave voice and 12-string guitar, while Mutual Benefit operates as a shifting ensemble built around careful songcraft.
