A staple in the Bay Area Balkan and gypsy swing scenes in
recent years, Alex Hand’s current project explores the common ground of
influence between western art music and jazz with folk music of Eastern Europe.
The repertoire features uptempo and high-energy dance tunes from Bulgaria and
Romania with a progressive edge.
Sharing the night is post-folk/rock band Three For
Silver, who is currently on tour supporting the newest album, The Way We Burn,
released September 2017 on Foggy Night Records. The album was recorded outside
of traditional studios in an attempt to capture the music out in the wild, in
the nooks and crannies where it’s most likely to breed and grow. Recorded from
a dank basement to a cloud-capped stone observatory, from a silent river home
to an empty piano warehouse, The Way We Burn marks a new generation in album
production and a band of people that is more than just one sound or one style.
