An Evening of music by Lampshade

Lampshade is three musicians from different musical backgrounds who have performed solo and with a wide variety of collaborators individually.  This trio has been improvising together for the last three years. The array of timbers they can wrestle out of glass objects, voice, guitar and electronics is stunning and curious.
