Coming up next in the series! An amazing duo on tour from North Carolina - @okapi_duo

•••••

Okapi is an Asheville, NC-based duo composed of Scott Mitchell Gorski (Upright Bass, Voice) and Lindsey Paige Miller (Cello). Hailing from differing musical backgrounds but sharing a passion for unique approaches to songwriting, craftsmanship, and structure, they began formulating candid, cathartic, and intentionally intricate orchestrations rooted in honesty and rawness. With evocative works abundant with lyrical paintings, they present ideas both intimately and aggressively, which challenge perceptions that stimulate universal confrontations with our absurd reality, while also promoting consciousness, healthy growth, and individual empowerment. They’ve toured nationally, performed as part of many festivals including the experimental Big Ears Festival, and have been featured in The Wire as part of their staff-curated CD compilation, “The Wire Tapper”.

The 2024 Southwest Collaborative Music Convergence is in the books and Season 10 is officially here! Thank you to all of the local and visiting artists for illuminating our community to the power of improvised music and our amazing audience of curious and deep listeners.

This is a tiny taste of some professional photos taken by a local photographer, Steve Montgomery (SJMImagery). We’re looking forward to sharing more out soon.
