KINGSTON ECHO CLUB #2: JEM VIOLET + LARRY LEGEND/BOBBY HAWK + ELI CREWS

TICKETS
Doors 7 // Music 8

JEM VIOLET is multi-instrumentalist and composer based in the Hudson Valley. Her musical collaborators include John Luther Adams, Hen in the Foxhouse, Tatters & Rags, and Glissando bin Laden. Jem has recorded and performed with musicians across many genres, including queer country artists Karen and the Sorrows, experimental composers Tristan Perich and Duane Pitre, and avant noise legends D Yellow Swans. She draws inspiration from her many teachers, including Pauline Oliveros, the Hudson River, cicadas, and rocks. We're very excited to have Jem performing some of her intensely hypnotic, post-minimalist music for Wurlitzer electric piano.
