An intimate evening with the cinematically poetic music of Alex Nahas
Bright Brown is the cinematically poetic music of Alex Nahas, the Brooklyn based singer / multi-instrumentalist who plays the rarely seen Chapman Stick and Dragonfly tap guitars and harbors a deep affinity for mood, texture and atmosphere. As Bright Brown has evolved over the course of four LPs, one EP and, most recently, the all acoustic release, "Whispering Gallery", Nahas has carved out a niche that slots into the same lineage as Bon Iver, Nick Drake, David Byrne, David Bowie, and Daniel Lanois: all one-of-a-kind artists who shoehorned unorthodox approaches into highly digestible songwritin
Admission is by-donation "...brilliant songs, full of pathos and alienation, but sweetened with strong doses of optimism. From the desiccate ‘Like Texas’ to the plaintive and even more parched ‘King of Thirst’, this music often broods along with us, but Bright Brown never fails to counter our collective agita with healthy doses of climactic major chords and high-arcing vocal choruses. Here are echoes of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake, but with much more urgency." - Greg Howard, Stick.com
