Oakland Active (Mini) Orchestra & bands | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Oakland Active (Mini) Orchestra is coming down to the Uptown again and they’re bringing like-minded bands to the bill, which remains lovingly FREE.

ON THE BILL:

• Jack O’ The Clock — Brings a quietly giddy sort of energy to the intersection of American folk songwriting and experimental music. The group’s sound, a jangly mix of concert-hall agility, acoustic rock drive, and junk shop scouring, is characterized by jaunty vocal harmonies and innovative, often intricate arrangements for unusual combinations of instruments.
• BEEP — Mischievous, mysterious, intricate and teasing: Children’s songs on painted pages. Stalwarts of the Bay Area music scene, BEEP have honed their interests in diverse projects spanning indie rock, free jazz, and the avant-garde fringe, evolving into the Bay Area’s most alluring purveyor of experimental eclectism
• Oakland Active Mini-Orchestra — The smaller, more portable version of the Oakland Active Orchestra includes violinist Hillary Overberg, saxofonists Aaron Bennet & Aram Shelton, bass players Doug Stuart & Scott Brown and drummer Shaun Lowecki.
