Been slowly listening through the undercard while at work and Maruja was fully unknown to me beforehand but immediately a top priority now... this rips
Yeah, they rule. So excited they’re playing this. It’s like what I wanted Black Midi to sound like.
Seeing Jack White tonight in Cincinnati and you talk about a killer small venue add-on ticket...
He just played First Avenue in Minneapolis (~1,500 capacity)... is he doing other smallish venues on this tour?
Yep, announcing one or two cities at a time. Last night was Bogart's at 1200. Absolute heater of a show, just relentless. Midnight Jack White at the Mill & Mine, $80 add-on? Not gonna lie I'd probably pony up again. Capps wants more ways to draw in just enough of a mainstream/local Knoxville audience, seems like a good opportunity if Jack keeps these shows rolling

One Leg One Eye added. You Lankum fans take note.
It's starting to feel like the ambient programming @ Big Ears is starting to rise to the level of where bluegrass/folk was at a few years ago. I'm all for it!

Finally made my way through listening to live snippets of the full lineup and think I have my top 10 most anticipated:
1. ANOHNI & the Johnsons 2. Sun Ra Arkestra & Yo La Tengo 3. Cassandra Jenkins 4. Les Claypool's Bastard Jazz 5. Julia Holter 6. Rufus Wainwright 7. Arooj Aftab 8. Michael Rother 9. Waxahatchee 10. Maruja
Really stacked year, probably my favorite lineup since my first time going (2022)
That's a great list! I completely agree that this is the best lineup in years... though I keep hoping to see some really unique film programming like they had in 2018: "Chroma Depth" & Blake Williams' "Prototype" - 3D experimental films... a lot of that was as impressive as the music (which, imo, is hard to match!)
Nestled in Knoxville’s intimate and historic downtown, festival goers are offered nearly 200 performances during the festival—at restored historic theaters, soaring churches, refurbished warehouse spaces, museums, galleries, and clubs—with pop-up events and performances, exhibitions, films, literary readings, workshops, markets and talks taking place in cafes, bars, hotels, restaurants, in alleyways and other nooks and crannies of the city. The festival experience is full of surprises.
A festival pass offers access to all publicly announced performances—enabling festival goers to not only see familiar artists that they know and love, but also to explore the music of artists with whom they are not already familiar.
With a very rare exception, everything—all of the venues, along with Knoxville’s finest hotels and award-winning restaurants—is within an easy, short walk of everything else, with a dedicated festival trolley service offering assistance should you wish to rest up for a moment and catch your breath.
While no two Big Ears are quite the same, each year the festival presents many of the world’s most visionary composers and musicians, artists whose work reaches for new heights and expands to new frontiers. The programming transcends generation and genre—bringing together iconic trailblazers and young iconoclasts performing and sometimes blending classical and contemporary composition, jazz, rock, folk traditions from throughout the world, pop, drone, avant-garde, ambient and beyond.
Previous performers and attendees have included John Luther Adams, Laurie Anderson, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Carla Bley, Anthony Braxton, Gavin Bryars, Bryce Dessner, eighth blackbird, Bela Fleck, Philip Glass, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Milford Graves, Jonny Greenwood, Mary Halvorson, Jon Hassell, Vijay Iyer, Kayhan Kalhor, Kronos Quartet, Alvin Lucier, Roscoe Mitchell, Meredith Monk, Jason Moran, the National, the Necks, Joanna Newsom, Angel Olsen, Evan Parker, The Punch Brothers, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Wadada Leo Smith, Sons of Kemet, St. Vincent, Supersilent, Swans, Wilco, and hundreds of others.
Besides Darkside, I’m crossing fingers for a Kelly Lee Owens return. She posted a recent IG story where she was announcing dates this week so let a boy dream a bit.
Jerry doesn't get DakhaBrakha. "What's up with the hats?" Elaine is trying to hook up with Colin Stetson but he won't stop playing long enough to hold a conversation. George is wearing camo pants claiming it's the "Zorn look," but keeps getting shushed in the Tennessee when he tries to explain this to his neighbors. Kramer describes his favorite set of the weekend, but the rest of the gang determines that he listened to a faulty exhaust fan behind St. John's for six hours.
