October 31, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
The golden age of the silver screen and Halloween featuring Betty Boop and Mickey Mouse! For an evening of scary fun and beautiful music, watch the magic of early 20th century cartoons as The Bug Tones play music to make your feet tap and your head bounce.
A composer, bassist, and bandleader, Safa Shokrai is inspired by visual art, architecture, and movement. They inform the color and tone of his work. He strives to create a performance experience in which the audience steps into a film, a world that has been fabricated and imagined, realized with sound and sight.
Featuring:
Safa Shokrai – upright bass
Britt Ciampa – drums
John Finkbeiner – guitar
Larry Leight – trombone
Henry Hung – trumpet
Ralph Carney – saxophones
Ric Carasquillo – animation editor
