Jeff Crompton's Relay Station + Artifactual String Unit

CRITIC’S PICK
Tue., Apr. 22
What’s not to love about two of the most engagingly offbeat bands in our fair city sharing a bill at Red Light Café? Led by reedman and composer Jeff Crompton, Relay Station features the singularly delightful vocalist Monique Osorio, Colin Bragg on bass, JD Walsh on guitars and percussionist John Arthur performing jagged 21st century lounge tunes, epic and haiku blues poems and other stuff that defies description, but will knock you over when you hear it.
Co-founder and violinist Chip Epsten once described Artifactual String Unit as "a classical trio with non-standard instrumentation that takes a garage-band approach to our music." Joined by Ben Shirley on cello and Gabe Monticello on double bass, ASU combines elements of jazz, folk and classical music to create a sublimely cool, sophisticatedly swinging soundscape all their own. – Doug DeLoach
