Eda Maxym's Imagination Club
Thursday, April 3, 2008
w/ didjeridu master Stephen Kent
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $18.50

Elemental siren and evocative songwriter Eda Maxym presents an evening of musical alchemy, seductively fusing rock, funk, blues, and world music, as found on her recent CD, Imagination Club. A powerful torch singer with tremendous range and versatility, Eda is joined for the evening by global troubadour Stephen Kent on didjeridu. Jane Selkye on vocals, keyboard, and guitar; bassist Chris Kee; guitarist Brent Stewart; and Ed McClary on drums will also be along for the ride on this funky and mystical musical adventure!

Known from her work with global groove ensemble Trance Mission and folk/jazz/world music quintet Beasts of Paradise, Eda weaves elements from far-flung cultures into harmonious, vibrantly textured music. As Thom Jurek of All-Music Guide would have it: "Her voice is one of the most poetic instruments I've heard. Maxym is able to draw from mercurial nuances that lie at the very root of things."

For an extra treat, Stephen Kent opens the show, taking the audience deep into the heart of primal trance with a solo flight of groove-laden didjeridu rhythms.
