 Best known for his work as a core member of the now defunct Gastr del Sol (as well as his membership in Squirrel Bait and Bastro, plus work with Richard Buckner and Will Oldham's Palace), David Grubbs has shifted his focus to his already healthy and expanding repertoire of solo material. Previous sonic departures include Bana Cabbage, Potato Lettuce, Onion Orange (Table of the Elements), on which he performs three versions of the same instrumental piece on piano, electric guitar and acoustic guitar. It's interesting... Since the end of Gastr del Sol, Grubbs released his own project. Thicket , featuring Gastr crony, Tortoise percussionist and multidimensional super man John McEntire, in addition to the acoustics of Ernst Hirsch on trumpet, Jeb Bishop on trombone and Tony Conrad on violin. In a recent solo performance at Empty Bottle, David exemplified the album's "very warm and open sound" through such the soothing tunes and unmistakeable vocals of "Foot Summons Train," and "40 Words on Worship." Though he will be spending the next six weeks in Europe, expect to see David Grubbs back at the Bottle, by late summer. Whether solo or with accompaniment, he is always sure to keep the audience on their feet and attentive.
