WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 31 AN AMERICANA NEW YEAR!
featuring YARN
Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line
South Rail

Grammy-nominated YARN is leading a roots music revolution! One of the hardest-working and harder-touring bands out there, YARN is inspiring a generation of fans (the “Yarmy”) who want fresh music they can believe in and follow. Yarn’s first four albums were recognized by the AMA’s and R&R radio charts, spending time in the top 5 at their highest point. Their most recent album, Almost Home, was produced by Bil VornDick, whose credits include Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley and Bob Dylan among others.

With a delightful stage presence and rich storytelling (she’s an NYU-educated ex-English teacher), not to mention a killer band (The Party Line), Nashville’s darling,NORA JANE STRUTHERS produces a modern mash-up of tradition and innovation. She’s been described as mesmerizing, arresting and haunting, all attempts to characterize her winning combination: magical lyrics, masterful vocals and deft instrumentation. There’s a reason she took first place at Colorado’s prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2010, just after the release of her solo debut Nora Jane Struthers — she is that special.

Pike & Rose, the new pedestrian-oriented, urban-minded neighborhood in the heart of Montgomery County, Maryland, and a key component in the revitalization of the White Flint District, is pleased to announce the first-ever Pike & Rose Audio Visual Arts (PRAVA) Festival. The free-to-attend event on Saturday, February 7, 6PM – 2AM, is a one-night immersive art experience featuring international, national, and regional artists.
Artists from Washington, D.C., Baltimore, New York, Boston, and the Netherlands will present musical performances and art installations spanning 40,000 square feet over three floors of office space at Pike & Rose. The event is open to guests 18 and older and is free to attend with online registration at www.PRAVAFest.org.
PRAVA is curated and produced by Nuit Blanche New York (NBNY) in partnership with Materials & Methods.
Featured PRAVA artists include:
Allard Van Hoorn, a Netherlands-based sound, installation and performance artist will collaborate with Baltimore’s Charm City Roller Girls to turn the 6th floor of the office building into a choreographed roller arena. Van Hoorn will create electronic music live by recording and remixing the sounds of the roller skates as they move around and through the audience.
Matmos, an experimental duo originally from San Francisco and now based in Baltimore, incorporates odd, unusual, and ‘found’ sounds into its rhythmic music, sampling sounds ranging from cards shuffling to a frozen stream thawing in the sun.
Mal Devisa will perform songs from her EP, For Daisy with Honey, and her most recent album, 4U. A solo artist based in Amherst, MA, whose music draws from indie favorites, jazz notes, and lo-fi rock, Mal Devisa plays the bass, keyboard, and drum. A sound-reactive light show will illuminate the audience with each kick she gives the bass drum on stage.
Johnathon Monaghan, a DC-based artist, will present his video, “Office,” which depicts a highly-realistic office space containing an elaborate Baroque sculpture framed with blue neon tubing. As the video continues, the sculpture of a long-dead aristocrat explodes in slow motion across the uninhabited office. Set to tinkling music, the video progresses with a hypnotic pace.
Brian Chase, the drummer for the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, and Ursula Scherrer, a New York City-based video artist, will collaborate to create an improvised audio-visual piece. Responding to Chase’s performance, Scherrer will use multiple projectors to create a mesmerizing, visual landscape.
GEMS, DC’s dream-pop duo, will perform new songs and their debut EP, Medusa. The duo makes romantic, heartbreaking music: Clifford John’s supporting, low voice balances Lindsay Pitts’ haunting pitch as they effortlessly weave their voices with hazy guitar sounds and lush synthesizers, all punctuated by a strong, danceable beat.
Simon Doonan
