Andy Ahiko Presents: Kenneth Salters
Thursday, August 4th @ 7pm
Kenneth Salters Haven is a vehicle for music that is accessible to all and communicates profound emotion, but is also still in the jazz aesthetic, meaning the music tells a story and expresses emotion through improvisation. It’s been Kenneth’s vision to create and opportunity for himself and other musicians, where they can all completely express their emotions and dynamics, where there is no limit on how happy or dark, loud or soft, simple or complex a musical statement can be. That’s the vision for this band. A Haven for everyone to feel completely safe with limitless expression individually and collectively.

Thursday, August 4th @ 9:30pm
Pavo Pavo is an experimental pop band from Brooklyn, NY. Pavo Pavo’s music moves with symphonic elegance. Guitar stabs, washed out harmonies, and rumbling synthesizers come and go like guests at a party.
Uni Ika Ai [pronounced: oonee eekuh eye] is a new Brooklyn based dreampop / artpop band comprised of music veterans Maia Friedman (Bobby, Toebow), Peter Lalish (Lucius, Elizabeth & The Catapult), Tom Deis (Via Audio), and Dan Drohan.
Mike Savino is not your grandaddy’s banjo player, and Tall Tall Trees is definitely not your average indiefolk outfit from NYC. A pioneer in the the world of experimental and psychedelic banjo music, Mike Savino has released two records and one EP on his own label Good Neighbor Records.
