Inner Ear Brigade / Clay's Auto Portraits / Also Chosen

Tuesday September 2 * doors at 7, music at 7:30 * $12-24 * TICKETS

Inner Ear Brigade (IEB) is an ensemble of musicians based in the San Francisco Bay Area who play a unique mix of progressive rock, jazz, and experimental pop, all delivered through their originally detailed compositions and arrangements. They recently released their 2nd full length album “Dromology”. The music is “fun, happy, accessible, and proggy.” Steeped with a vintage analog sensibility, effects processing, and synthesizers, IEB crafts their sounds from “ RIO elements (Rock In Opposition), Canterbury (Sound), and Zappa”.

IEB is:
Bill Wolter - guitar
Stephen Wright - Bass
Tim Rowe - Drums
Madeline Tasquin - Vocals and FX
Evelyn Davis - Keyboards
Josh Marshall - Saxophone
Phillip Greenlief  - Saxophone

Clay’s Auto Portraits is a jazz ensemble built on sharp ears and quick reflexes. Their music thrives on real-time dialogue — trading lines, shifting roles, and building momentum through collective instinct. Drawing from bebop, post-bop, and modern improvisation, they blur the line between structure and spontaneity. Every set is a conversation in motion, driven by deep listening and shared risk.

Also Chosen is Abe Mamet (French horn and effects), Zoë Jorgenson-Speirs (bass and effects), and Keith Butler, Jr. (drums). The trio creates soft and lush landscapes woven from traditions of jazz, improvisation, and groove.
