The Fred Frith Trio began life almost by accident in 2013. A couple of low key local gigs in Oakland gave rise to a European tour, a debut record on Intakt, and an always busy schedule. By now they have performed in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Istanbul, New York, Paris, Prague, Sao Paolo, Vienna, Warsaw, Zagreb and a host of other places, creating an identity that seems to revolve around memories of a bygone psychedelic era filtered through the lens of razor-sharp improvisation. Closer to the Ground has been described as “a gripping piece of spontaneous timelessness”, “ a vital statement from a singular artist and his inventive crew”, “a magical , transcendent world”. The new record Road, a double CD of live recordings with guests Susana Santos Silva and Lotte Anker, has also been enthusiastically received—“wide-ranging free rock that’s positively bursting with ideas”, “an extraordinary catalog of sounds”, “a triumph of emphatic expectations”. The group is freshly returned from a tour of nine countries in 14 days, and have never sounded better!

Opening the evening are Sheridan Riley, Wayne Horvitz, and Neil Welch
