Gwenifer Raymond with Andrew Scott Young

Gwenifer Raymond began playing guitar at the age of eight shortly after having been first exposed to punk and grunge. After years of playing around the Welsh valleys in various punk outfits she began listening more to pre-war blues musicians as well as Appalachian folk players, eventually leading into the guitar players of the American Primitive genre.

She released her sophomore LP ‘Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain’ at the end of 2020 to a rapturous response. Her debut ‘You Never Were Much Of A Dancer’ emerged on Tompkins Square to the same response in 2018. She has found herself equally embraced by fans of old-west and equally, by left field/experimental audiences.

Appearances throughout the UK and the EU have established her as one of the leading lights of the scene, and not to be missed under any circumstances.

Andrew Scott Young

Bassist Andrew Scott Young has been a stalwart of the Chicago improvised music community since 2007 first with his band Tiger Hatchery and DIY venue The Mopery.  Performing regularly with his own groups and collaborative projects like Whisker, TRAYSH, Akjai, and Undisclosed Sims, he has also toured and recorded extensively with artists like Ryley Walker and Circuit Des Yeux. With solo performance he tries to explore sounds and techniques available on the bass that are too subtle to be noticed in most group settings. Working with a huge sonic palette that is normally limited to only a few sounds, Young can conjure up fascinating realms of sound.
