My initial impression of Nat Baldwin is that of a carefree creative sort, walking around urban landscapes with his instrument on his back, prepared to strike a chord in a choice location. Perhaps a few people will take notice and watch, or maybe he'll perform for an audience of one. He doesn't seem to mind. He's doing this because he wants to.

Then he begins to sing. His voice catches your hear and holds it. He doesn't whine, he laments. You take notice now. The strains and reverberations of his bow crossing the strings leaves a ghost trail of sound. He no longer seems as carefree, instead portraying a tortured artist trying to heal the world through folk and free jazz.

Based on his apparent love for performing in different urban settings, the Perot Grain Silo is a perfect location to experience his music. It's an aesthetically interesting setting, and acoustically excellent for filling with the atmospheric groans and sighs of Baldwin's double bass.

Andy Pothier, Lara Buckley, and Steve Baczkowski are also bringing some musical treats to this unique event. 

So if you're in the mood for doing something interesting, and not too hungover from Music is Art, make the trek to the Perot Grain Silo at 100 Childs St. around 8PM with $10 firmly in your hand.

Double bassist/singer-songwriter Nat Baldwin (of Dirty Projectors fame) will be at The Vault in Buffalo tonight. Baldwin is touring in support of his newest experimental free jazz album People Changes, which came out last year. People Changes is Baldwin's fifth solo album, in addition to seven full-length albums and several EPs with the Dirty Projectors.
