Hideout and Plastic Crimewave via CPF are honored and thrilled to present this absolute legend, who hasn't left his East Coast haunts for Chicago (or many other places) since 2008. Higgins recorded his beautiful, laid-back, dark/sunny, baroque/fried album, Red Hash, in 1972 Connecticut--and he'll be playing many smokey cuts off the revered private press platter. Reissued by Drag City Records, the now-classic LP was released as Higgins went to jail for dealing weed on March 6, 1973--exactly 53 years before this unique appearance, with veteran collaborator Dave VanDebogart on second lilting guitar.
Anna Johnson's unique and soaring blend of experimental electronics, Celtic folk, and psyche textures have her playing all over the world. This set will be aided by the local supergroup of Paige Naylor (synth/vox), Ben Baker Billington (drums), and Andrew Scott Young (bass).
The Singleman Affair has been bringing his pastoral take on loner acoustics to recordings and stages since thee early aughts, and he will return to his ele-mental roots with this special set of early material—augmented by double-duty-ing Andrew Scott Young-bass, Don Ogilvie-percussion/vocal duties, and Beth Yates-flute.
DJ Psychedalex Kerner simply has the best astral folkin' stash in Chi-towne, and will keep the dreamy vinyl vibes tight all night.
