Live @ LOW END | Magic Tuber Stringband
Thursday, November 12 at LOW END @ Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha
About this event
Magic Tuber Stringband, hailing from North Carolina, probe the undercurrents of the landscapes around them via avant composition with folk instrumentation.
Who's playing
Magic Tuber Stringband is a Durham, North Carolina trio featuring Courtney Werner, Evan Morgan, and Mike DeVito. Their sound centers folk instrumentation - fiddle, guitar, banjo, bass, pump organ, and field recordings - while pushing those materials toward avant composition and improvisation.
What to expect
Expect acoustic music that treats the string band format as a space for experimentation: dense arrangements, minimalist gestures, improvisation, and environmental sound. The group’s recent album Heavy Water reflects on the Savannah River Site and the impact of nuclear arms production on surrounding landscapes and communities, extending their interest in how music can hold natural history, memory, and place.
Why go
LOW END, the experimental music venue at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, is built for close listening and sound-based work. For Omaha audiences, Live @ LOW END | Magic Tuber Stringband offers a focused encounter with contemporary folk instrumentation stretched into something more textural, exploratory, and site-conscious.
