o quote (with faultless precision) the hit song of my youth, please endeavor not to denominate it a 'comeback', but please DO consider joining us for the Lazarus-like first performance by the Nathan Clevenger Group since January 2020. The Group will be presenting a stack of new music along with a couple revivified -- and as-yet undocumented -- pieces from our book. New music...new band members...new plucky, can-do attitude...what's not to like?
The program will open with a mini-set of music composed during the COVID pandemic for solo instrumentalists. Many of these pieces have been released on 'i had a dream about amnesia', a free copy of which is yours for the taking, provided you are an attendee. This will be the first time any of these pieces are performed live in front of an audience.
