Tonight: Jonathan Wood Vincent - "Lo a Buff"


Tonight’s 7:30 event at Ashker's Cafe in Elmwood Village is going to be the storm Buffalo needs to break this unbearable heat. Jonathan Wood Vincent, a grumbling, statuesque piano player of tie-silk pants from NYC who performed beautifully at the Triangle House show Wednesday, VWLS, a Buffalo meditation tent art project, and T.J. Borden, experimental cellist and prolific young music nerd, and master of Buffalo noise, Pat Cain are going to scream and crackle and caress their way into the atmosphere, electrify the whole city with the voice of a jungle. 

The music, each set a different style, will trick listeners into feeling like we’re in a rickety aircraft, dipping over magnificent landscapes: the ocean waves crashing so soft below we barely believe in motion outside the mind; dead mountains poking like nails through the crumbling, white ground; trees so dark and purple we misread sky blue. Dots of wild buffalo, birds, and flying fish. Kicked dust, sheets, and boots. Tornado houses, sand-storm jewels. Waves and waves of heat. And then, salty lightning and rain. First, hard. Then the kind you like to walk home in.
