media release: Tickets on sale now for an evening of solo and duo performances by guitarists Marisa Anderson and William Tyler on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 at 7pm, as they promote their new record, Lost Futures. Due to the pandemic, seating will be limited and advance tickets are recommended. Tickets are $20 online in advance ($18 for ALL Members) at andersontyler.bpt.me, or $25 at the door for everyone.
On Lost Futures, Anderson and Tyler’s guitars dance through lush arrangements and pastoral duets serpentine and reverent. Anderson and Tyler distill deeply rooted and varied traditions into distinctive voices all their own. Anderson and Tyler are each unyielding in their desire to extend through those traditions and the confines of “guitar music” to craft music at once intimate and expansive, conversational and transcendent. With tours sidelined by the pandemic and the increasing tensions of isolation, unrest and ecological disaster looming, the duo set to composing and collaborating remotely. Tyler joined Anderson in Portland for a week before recording as protests across the city escalated and raging wildfires cast a dangerous haze.In uniting to meditate on their musical practices together, the two guitarists composed music filled with the joy of playing together while having a sober tone reflective of the troubled state of the world around them.
