Thursday, September 17th
7 to 8pm

Stay downtown after work every third Thursday of the month and check out new sounds curated by local musician and international composer Larry Marotta. This month we feature the ethereal guitar stylings of Columbus native L.A. Jenkins.

Jenkins has performed with various groups across the U.S., including collaborations with Tatsuya Nakatani, Tom Abbs, Michael Cary, Gary Thompson, and Ryan Jewell. In the past year he has released two albums, Man Danced Funny and Inability to Fly (Ice Recoding Company).

"...it delivers a fully formed statement of purpose. Jenkins has an encyclopedic knowledge of music stored in his brain and can seemingly call forth phrases and styles at will...This is quite a find." Of Inability to Fly
        -Mark Corroto, All About Jazz

Free and open to all. Donations accepted.

This series is part of our after-work programming offered Thursday evenings. Before the show stop by Tip Top Kitchen & Cocktails and ask for the Urban Artists' Special: It's very special indeed and it's only $3.
