This weekend, The Disco Biscuits will head back to Colorado for their annual Bisco Inferno run. The Philadelphia-born jamtronica heavyweights will perform a three-night run at Denver’s Ogden Theatre starting tomorrow, on May 24th, through to May 26th. These Ogden shows will serve as a warm-up for the band’s headlining performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Sunday, May 27th, where they’ll be joined by two of the most exciting “next-gen” bands in the jam scene: the Arizona-based up-and-comers of Spafford and Los Angeles’jazz-funk trio Organ Freeman.
However, today, Disco Biscuits guitarist Jon “The Barber” Gutwillig has announced that he will perform an additional show on Monday, May 28th, at Denver’s intimate Globe Hall. Billed as a solo acoustic show, the show will see Barber in a rare context, which if past performances are any indication, will serve as “storytime” in addition to a musical performance. The last time that Barber offered up a solo acoustic show during the Biscuits’ Bisco Inferno run was eight years ago, when the guitarist performed at Boulder’s Fox Theatre on May 30th, 2010. Tickets for Barber’s rare solo acoustic performance at Denver’s Globe Hall on Monday, May 28th, to close out the upcoming Bisco Inferno run are on sale now via Ticketfly.
In addition to this Denver show, Barber also has a solo acoustic show scheduled during Disc Jam Music Festival, which runs from June 7th through 10th in Stephentown, New York. Disc Jam’s lineup also includes performances from Electron, a supergroup composed of Barber’s bandmates Marc Brownstein and Aron Magner in addition to Tom Hamilton (Ghost Light, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead) and Mike Greenfield (Lotus), plus sets from Lotus, Beats Antique, Galactic, The Motet, and many more.
