Doug McCombs at Constellation in Chicago on October 21, 2021

Doug McCombs is certainly no stranger to this blog. He has had an impressive career in jazz, rock, post-rock, and adjacent genres for several decades. McCombs has been a member of Eleventh Dream Day, Brokeback, Tortoise, Sea and Cake, Black Duck, and various Chris Forsyth bands including BASIC.

For this show he performed on guitar (and not his more typical bass) opening up for William Tyler and Marisa Anderson. This was an immensely interesting short set with a wide range of textures.
