Wednesday | May 24th | 5-7pm: LIVE MUSIC ~ RYAN BLOTNICK & DANNY FISHER-LOCHHEAD

Jazz duo (TBD); Jazz guitarist and composer Ryan Blotnick has been called “a vital contemporary voice” by Time Out New York. As part of one of the last generations to study with 1960s era masters like Gene Bertoncini, Harold Mabern, Yusef Lateef, Billy Taylor and Andrew Cyrille, Blotnick developed a deep respect for the post-bop and free-jazz traditions, while simultaneously being exposed to current directions in European and American improvisation. Danny Fisher-Lochhead grew up in New York and started playing cello when he was young. Later he picked up the saxophone, which continues to be his main access point into the world of music as a performer. He has released five records as a leader or co-leader. He now lives in Maine, where he is continuing his exploration of music through all of the channels available to him.
