Oakland musicians Nathan Clevenger, Jordan Glenn, and Cory Wright share a long and entwined history of collaboration across various projects, including Wiener Kids, Ashen Cleric, and Fellow Hominids. Formed in 2021, the trio has released 3 albums and initiated a series of collaborations with guests artists, including Kasey Knudsen, Crystal Pascucci, Phillip Greenlief, Marié Abe, and Safa Shokrai. Working from, between, and against Clevenger's compositional frames and utilizing the multi-instrumental flexibility of each player, the trio (and guests) weaves between non-idiomatic improvisation and often gnomic composed material, with focus on spaciousness and timbral detail. For tonight's performance, the trio is joined by Danishta Rivero and Ari Brown.

Danishta Rivero is a vocalist, improviser, performer, and sound artist based in Oakland, California.

Ari Brown is an improviser whose expression is a monument to his commitment to unburden himself of the weight of the legacies under which he learned to play. Not a shedding of skin so much as an embrace of what was always there.
