Escaper

Escaper supports JEDI. About JEDI: Aaron Johnston, drummer of Brazilian Girls, is taking his J.E.D.I. (Jazz Electronic Dance Improvised) project on the road this Spring. The project has seen a rotating cast of musicians such as Michael Kang (The String Cheese Incident), Borahm Lee (Pretty Lights / Break Science), Dominic Lalli (Big Gigantic), Ryan Zoidis (Lettuce), Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds), Nate Edgar (The Nth Power), and more join the accomplished musician over the course of the past two years, since J.E.D.I. made its initial debut. For the upcoming Spring Equinox Tour, both bassist Marc Brownstein and keyboardist Aron Magner of The Disco Biscuits will join Johnston on the four night run. The trio recently got together for a late-night throwdown post-Biscuits in Albany this past November, and have decided hit the road for a 4-night run. The group will blend a myriad of musical elements from a diverse range of genres including jazz, afrobeat, dub, funk, dance and more to create a “live music abstraction” each night of the tour. The trio will be joined by very special guest drummer Joe Russo (The Duo / Joe Russo’s Almost Dead) for their New York City appearance at Nublu on Wednesday, March 20th. Brooklyn, NY-based space-funk/psych-rock outfit Escaper will support J.E.D.I at Nublu, as well as Toad’s Place in New Haven, CT on March 21st, and Putnam Place in Saratoga Springs, NY on March 23rd. J.E.D.I.’s show at Metronome in Burlington, VT will be a special “Evening With” performance.
