The M6

Attention Brooklynites: The M6 will be appearing at the Fabulous Jalopy Theatre in Carroll Gardens on Friday, July 30!  We’re on a shared bill with the equally fabulous Moira Smiley and VOCO. You’ll get a rare double dose of M6er Emily Eagen, who will be performing with both groups. And who knows – maybe M6 and VOCO will find ourselves on the stage at the same time at some point? Come hear to find out what happens… We’re on at 9pm.

Thanks to everyone who turned out for our two shows at the La MaMa Moves! 2010 Dance Festival.  We’re glad you were there for our first performances of a work-in-progress titled Basket Rondo, which was originally written for the Western Wind and is now being reworked for the M6.

For those who missed it, check out our program below.

We’re performing at the Tank tonight at 7:30! Here’s a look at the concert program to entice you to come.

We’re gearing up for next week’s performance at The Stone, the East Village performance space established by John Zorn.  Our concert is part of a series titled Sing Theory curated by David Garland, who says, ”The emphasis of my programming at The Stone during the last weeks of 2009 is on musicians who subtly, insistingly, and creatively expand the potential of song. By investing songs with both heart and brain, and by tapping into the alchemy of the understandable and the mysterious, these daring songwriters prove that the ancient combination of words and music can still yield surprises, open new vistas, and permit and promote profound communication.” Read more of what he has to say about the series on the WQXR blog.

Come on by Tuesday night, December 22, at 10pm!  You know you’ll need a break from “Santa Baby” by then.
