Robin Aigner and Curtis Eller
Monday September 13th • 7-9pm
Robin
Aigner and Curtis Eller are members of an elite New York City circle of
indie musicians whose work is deeply informed by history and frequently
feature historical events as the inspiration and content for their
emotive song-vignettes.
The Village Voice, writing about one such band, defined their sound, appropriately, perhaps, as “antique-garde.”
Robin: One of Brooklyn's most beloved and musicians, Robin Aigner plays original old-time/Eastern European music the banjo, ukulele and guitar. Aigner (a member of old-world orchestrette Pinataland) mesmerizes crowds with musical tales, both fictional and factual. With songs about famed madame Pearl Polly Adler, Ellis Island immigrants Annie Moore and Irving Berlin, and the infamous Bonnie and Clyde, to ditties about stone-cold mamacitas, a florist from Florence to John Prine-style duets, no musical foray is out of Aigner's reach. Robin recently opened for Emmylou Harris in Nashville and just released her fourth album, Bandito.
Curtis: "One of the contemporary acoustic scene's most eccentric and individual performers will embark on a brief tour of the Southeast this September. Detroit born and circus raised Eller has built a strong international following based on full throttle live shows where slapstick and silent comedy meets the urgency of an early David Byrne. However, despite the Groucho mustache, suspenders and baggy trousers, this isn't the sideshow that it may first appear. Eller is a gifted writer raised on Randy Newman, The Band and Tom Waits. His often melancholy, often angry songs describe a dream like view of American history where all points in time have collapsed into one. Elvis Presley can rub shoulders with Abraham Lincoln against a backdrop of circus disasters, assassinations, corruption and sweatshop fires. To top it off he has the smoky voice of a man lost in the desert without a flask and performs every song as if his life depended in it. Not to be missed.
