15 New Artists join Big Ears Weekend & New Shows Added
We’re thrilled to welcome the following artists to Big Ears 2010:
• The amazing singer/sorceress/shapeshifter SHELLEY HIRSH will perform at Big Ears in collaboration with our good friends and neighbors, those ole timey avant-gardists from Chattanooga, the SHAKING RAY LEVIS, in what is certain to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of this year’s festival. They will perform in a program with Ben Frost & Tim Hecker late Sunday afternoon.
• AHLEUCHATISTAS bring the intricate intensity of their searing “math rock” constructions across the mountain from Asheville, NC…performing shows on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
• VIDEOHIPPOS – some of whom were with us last year in another guise – will also pay us a visit from Baltimore, with their friends LESSER GONZALEZ ALVAREZ and DAMAGED PATIENTS .
• Other artists from throughout our region will include: ARGENTINUM ASTRUM, DESTROYED BY MAGNETS, FOREST MAGIC, eric-jon, MOUNTAINS OF MOSS, PAPER HATS, SHORTwave SOCIETY, VILLAGES, and WARBAND.
