Concert: Dina Maccabee, Janel Leppin, Josh Mason

Sunday August 20th AFTERNOON SHOW, 4pm. $10 suggested donation

Dina Maccabee is best known for her violin and viola playing and singing with Ramon & Jessica, Real Vocal String Quartet, and Julia Holter. She is touring in support of her new solo album, The World is in the Work, in which Dina's poignant, pared down songs are framed by a unique approach to viola, looping and electronic processing. With nods to maverick string players like Henry Flynt, Laurie Anderson, John Cale, and Arthur Russell, this album also shows the influence of her many years playing folk, pop, and classical music.
