Tin Brother with Roger Harmon
2015-11-07 14:00 - 15:00 | Popups Example
Tin Brother is an instrumental guitar and bass duo with a full sound rooted in alternative, indie, and classic pop. Although primarily acoustic, the finger-style guitar and standup bass are augmented by the tasteful use of effects pedals and live loopers allowing them to add percussion, ambience, and multiple instrumental tracks live during the performance. Every sound the audience hears is made live with the guitar and bass. No prerecorded material is used. The result is studio quality tone of a full band in a compact package. Audiences can expect to hear instrumental performances of both familiar and original songs giving an overall impression of a stylish movie soundtrack.

Anderman Photography Lecture Series: An-My Lê
2015-11-14 19:00 - 20:30 | Denver Art Museum, 100 W 14th Ave Pkwy, Denver, 80204, United States
About the Artist: In her work, An-My Lê examines the culture of war. Drawing equally from the traditions of landscape and combat photography, she uses a large format camera not to depict the action of battle, but to give context to how we fight. Lê’s resultant images—of tanks and missiles in seemingly choreographed movements, ships on a cerulean sea, or soldiers performing the mundane duties that surround war—are cinematic in scope and resonate with layered meanings and implicit narratives. (DAM)
The Anderman Photography Lecture Series presents talks by the preeminent creators and thinkers in photography today.
Doors open at 6:30 pm
Tickets: $5 for students, $10 for DAM members and CPAC members, $15 for general admission.
