This Easter weekend! -- some far-flung musical artists whose material is likely particularly well-suited for book fiends make an appearance at Jones & Co. as they play several dates around Ireland.
Free entry, donations encouraged to help cover travel costs.
Mrs. Adam Schatz (NYC) is the solo extension of “Landladyland” — a world best described as the the solar system of Adam Schatz. Primordial versions of Landlady songs and hyper-evolved covers of kindred artists like The Band, Allen Toussaint, Arthur Russell, Elliott Smith, and Randy Newman tend to populate his extremely moving performances — where his native instrument, the tenor saxophone, enters his vocabulary in ways unseen in any other part of Landladyland. "Adam Schatz, the chief songwriter of Landlady, is arguably one of the most versatile and exciting musicians in recent years.” -Paste

She'll be presenting material from her two recent be-boperettas which premiered at the Smock Alley Scene + Heard festival -- with Nick Boon on guitar and Naoise Roo on vocals. “A guitarist and chanteuse with jazz leanings, whose vocal control and stage presence command attention” (The New Yorker). "One of the more idiosyncratic and consistently nonpareil musicians in Ireland" (The Thin Air).
