Confab’ul/ate, v.i. 1: engage
in conversation: talk. 2:
fabricate imaginary experiences as compensation for loss of memory...
It’s all about interplay -
musical conversations and fabrications from the outer boundaries when folk,
poetry and jazz met in an imaginary coffeehouse late one night in a distant
past, or an imminent future...Some of David Woodhead’s fanciful
instrumentals, powerful Oliver Schroer tunes, train songs and monster movie music,
with Lord Buckley rants, Neruda poems, sweet singing and crazy
playing by a confabulous band and illustrious guests.
A versatile pool of artists! Some long-term relationships and some
brand new.
Bringing together some fresh
younger talents with
some who have a long
history of performing.
In the past year, band and guests
