Friday, April 20th

“Avant-Jazz – Still Moving” Festival

(also at 8:00 pm - Rosi Hertlein with Howard Johnson)

9:30 pm – Monika Heidemann: The Monika H. Band

Monika Heidemann twists together vocal improvisation, jazz sensibility, pop melodies and the grind of rock n’ roll, exploring the colliding worlds of the technical and spontaneous. Tonight she performs with her group, the Monika H. Band: Brandon Seabrook (guitar), Dave Treat (drums), Erik Deutsch (piano/keys) & Jonti Simon (bass) w. guest filmmaker Vignesh Swaminathan. Heidemann is the leader, writer, and vocalist of this self-titled NYC-based project, now in its third year. Her compositions and lyrics are a platform for her band to tell the ever-changing musical story of her songs, teetering between the written music and the band’s own playful additives and interpretations. Monika will be performing with her band as well as premiering an extended music video produced in collaboration with San Francisco independent filmmaker Swaminathan. Vig is the founder of Floating World Films, a San Francisco based film collective dedicated to the pursuit of experimental cinema.
