Edible Audible Picnic: Dosh June 21, 2010

Edible Audible Picnic, the poly-rhythmic music series returns to Millennium Park at noon this summer, featuring DJs and live bands as diverse and entrancing as the electronic genre in which they play. Presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Millennium Park, this free series expands to include 16 concerts on Mondays and select Saturdays at noon, beginning June 7 through September 4, 2010.

Dosh’s sound is a unique hybrid combining electro-acoustic music, traditional rock instruments and the use of live sampling techniques to create loop-based compositions onstage. Dosh layers percussion-heavy concoctions from an array of gadgets carefully placed around the stage. As an artist, Martin Luther King Dosh, a collaborator with Andrew Bird, is joined by Michael Lewis, who contributes to the recordings and performs live on saxophone, electric piano, and electric bass and is also a regular member Bird's crew. Dosh’s will be playing Millennium Park in support of his fifth full-length album, Tommy, recently released on the Anticon label.
