COLIN STETSON

Saxophonist Colin Stetson recently teamed up with violinist Sarah Neufeld a collaboration album Never were the way she was (Constellation Records) and a North American tour in June.

The duo described the record as, “Never were the way she was is guided by the metaphorical narrative of the life of a girl who ages slow as mountains; excited, exalted, and ultimately exiled in her search for a world that resembles her experience. The album’s expansive sonic trajectory and multiplicity of structures and voicings belies the fundamental economy of two acoustic instruments combining in real time. The result is a musical chronicle that powerfully establishes its own spatial and temporal horizon, a soundtrack that requires no images but profoundly compels the imaginative.”

Now that the Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld tour is over… Stetson will do a few solo dates this July, including a stop at the Cedar next Thursday, July 16, before heading over to play at the Bon Iver’s Eaux Claires Festival.

Tour dates:

07.16.15 – Cedar Cultural Center – Minneapolis, MN
07.17.15 – 07.18.15 – Eaux Claires Festival – Eaux Claires, WI
07.23.15 – Dawson City Music Festival – Dawson, YT
