Description

David James (Afrofunk Experience, Beth Custer Ensemble) brings his newest project to the Poppy.  With a diverse performing background, in settings from Ambient/Noise (Thessalonians) to Hip-Hop (The Coup, Spearhead) to Afrobeat (Sila), David's music crosses all these stylistic borders (Senegalese-Irish groove, anyone?)

Featuring an all-star lineup of local luminaries, GPS (Good People, Son) marries the melodic to the grooving in exciting ways with its rhythm-trombone-clarinet-viola mix and deft improvising.

Beth Custer will begin the evening with a rare solo set of her pieces on piano, clarinets, and voice.


David James - guitar, voice
Beth Custer - clarinets, piano, voice
