Rosin Coven, Mark Growden & Squid Inc. May 27, 2011

Friday May 27th, 9pm

Please join the world's premiere Pagan Lounge Ensemble ROSIN COVEN with Mark Growden and Squid Inc. for a rare East Bay performance at the legendary Starry Plough in Berkeley.

Their first live performance since this year's spectacular Edwardian Ball season, Rosin Coven performs early, onstage for the middle set at 9:45pm!

"A spellbinding blend of macabre cabaret with offbeat elements of jazz, chamber music, and dark ages gloom." -East Bay Express

SQUID Inc. opens the night at 9pm - a string quartet playing amazingly non-traditional, original arrangements by Darcy Rindt (viola) and featuring Beth Vandervennet (aka Gingerbread Candy of Rosin Coven) on cello.

Longtime friend and musical co-conspirator Mark Growden closes out the night, introducing new material from his upcoming album to be recorded in New Orleans. Featuring Mark upfront on vocals and baritone sax, Myles Boisen on guitar, Chris Grady on trumpet, Justin Katz (Rosin Coven) on bass, and more!

"His music combines elements from classical jazz ensembles, New Orleans-style brass bands, cabaret fanfare, and circus troupes with the stark honesty of Appalachian folk ballads and African-American prison songs." -Taos News
