Big Lazy, a self-described gritty instrumental trio from New York City, will perform at 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10, at John & Peter’s, 96 S. Main St., New Hope.
Big Lazy has flourished for over 20 years, creating film music and playing its singular brand of guitar noir and highway twang from the Whitney Museum of American Art to the Opéra National de Lyon.
Simultaneously noir and pastoral, gothic and modern, the trio conjures images from big sky country to seedy back rooms with cinematic clarity. Combining elements of blues, rockabilly, surf and jazz with a fiery performance style, the trio’s most recent album, “Dear Trouble,” captures the essence of their live shows.
Stephen Ulrich, guitarist and Big Lazy founder, has released his first solo album, “Music from This American Life.” The album is a collection of 10 pieces Ulrich was commissioned to write for Ira Glass’ iconic radio program of the same name. Ulrich is also known for composing the soundtrack for the HBO series “Bored To Death.”
At John and Peter’s, Big Lazy will perform music from their six studio albums as well “Music from This American Life.”
Also performing will be Slow Noche, a trio from New Hope, playing original instrumentals with hints of Latin, island and noir.
