There was a mini guitar festival happening at the venerable Jazz Gallery in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee a few days ago, with Washington, DC-based melodic finger style guitarist Jon Camp and his trio performing along with ragenap+dathon (zones and drones on Fender 6-string basses from Chicago) and our next upload, Milwaukee legend Jim Warchol performing on guitar and electronics.
Jim is a veteran of the Milwaukee music scene, having been a member of Sometime Sweet Susan in the early 1990s through to his stints as avantgarde electronic project Loam, then as an integral member of percussionist Jon Mueller's Death Blues, and most recently with his current band, the post-rock outfit Dryhouse Ruins.
For this performance he soloed over a bed of pulsing electronic drones whose textures changed throughout the 22-minute set. The mood was dark yet with a hopefulness in the background. It's always a joy to watch Jim perform and I am really looking forward to checking out the record release show celebrating the new Dryhouse Ruins LP.
