Jas Stade / Thunderpaw / Zachary Dixon
Wed, Nov 18 · 7:00 PM Rhizome DC · Takoma
Wednesday November 18 * doors at 7, music at 7:30 * $10-20 * REGISTER Drawing upon her background in classical guitar & art rock (as 1/3 of Oakland's Gumby's Junk), Jas Stade blends whimsy & technicality into an ever-shifting sonic landscape of experimental instrumental folk music. Her style explores a kaleidoscope of tones - fluidly moving from wobbly, surreal walls of sound to crisp fingerpicked ditties. Smoke & Mirrors, Jas’ debut album released in 2025, is a textural delight for the world of guitar music. Recorded to analog tape, Smoke & Mirrors is meditative, tongue in cheek, and best enjoyed late at night. Thunderpaw hails from the belly of the beast. An ulcer of light burning through the darkness, pushing against definition in search of meaning. Music is a Weapon. Zach Dixon is a saxophonist, composer, improviser, and aspiring wizard. Drawing inspiration from musical storytellers like Sun Ra and Ryuichi Sakamoto, they create musical spaces that invite the mind to wander.
