Glass Band (Steve Gunn / Bill Nace / John Truscinski)

Ars Nova Workshop presents two performances by the mesmerizing, exploratory trio Glass Band featuring guitarists Steve Gunn and Bill Nace with drummer John Truscinski at Solar Myth on October 12 and 13, 2023.

Lansdowne native Steve Gunn has won acclaim for both his contemporary guitar-driven material as well as his forward thinking songwriting, processing his inspirations into a singular, virtuosic stream that reveals the influence of blues, folk, ecstatic free jazz, and psych. He and drummer John Truscinski have released four transcendent albums as a duo, and paired with Body/Head, the duo of Bill Nace and Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, for a soundtrack to Andy Warhol’s Kiss. Following a rapturous outing on stage at Solar Myth in January, Truscinski and the two guitarists furthered their ecstatic collaboration with the recent release of their first trio session, Glass Band. Aquarium Drunkard’s review credits the addition of Nace for, “anchoring this often incendiary guitar and percussion experiment in an endless serene now.”
