14 Pews, Signal to Noise and They, Who Sound present Baltimore-Based Pedal Steel Guitar Innovator Susan Alcorn. Solo and ensemble performances.

Alcorn has absorbed the technique of C&W pedal steel playing and refined it to a virtuosic level. Her original music reveals the influence of free jazz, avant-garde classical music, Indian ragas, Indigenous traditions, and other musics of the world.

The UK Guardian describes her music as "beautiful, glassy and liquid, however far she strays from pulse and conventional harmony."

Performance: Friday, July 13h @ 8PM . Admission: $5 - $10 “Pay what you can.”
