TICKETS + INFORMATION

Ben Lamar Gay plays some of the most skewed, even warped, Americana you’ve ever heard: he makes Van Dyke Parks sound totally straight. You kind of wonder if anyone at Nonesuch actually listened to his album before they agreed to co-release it with International Anthem: it certainly goes way beyond that label’s usual comfort level. As for Tomin’em, I don’t actually know much about him. But I sure know some of his bandmembers, like Luke Stewart and Lester St. Louis and Tcheser Holmes.
