A songwriter based in North Carolina, Django Haskins has fronted the pop-noir band, The Old Ceremony and also forms one half of the psych-folk duo Au Pair with the Jayhawks' Gary Louris. SHADOWLAWN is his first solo record in 17 years. It began as a series of experimental recordings in his newly built studio, and eventually evolved into a kind of late-summer song cycle full of meditations on death, love, fear, wanderlust, and exploration of interior worlds. In 2016 he received the NC Arts Council's Artist Grant in recognition of his extensive creative exertions. This evening’s song cycle will be full of meditations on death, love, fear, wanderlust, and exploration of interior worlds. www.djangohaskins.com We can't wait to see you there for this amazing show!
