On December 5, Jack Rose, the highly regarded acoustic guitar slinger and former Pelt member, passed away in his Philadelphia home. His legacy, however, will continue, as many musicians in the scene that Rose influenced will come together February 13 at the Latvian Society of Philadelphia (in Philadelphia) to pay tribute to and remember Rose. Performers for the night include D. Charles Speer & The Helix, Thurston Moore/Paul Flaherty/Chris Corsano, Michael Chapman, Pelt, The Black Twig Pickers, Glenn Jones, Byron Coley, Meg Baird/Chris Forsyth, Megajam Booze Band, DJ Ian Nagoski, and video clips curated by Tara Young.
The night will also double as a release party for Rose’s final full-length album, Luck In the Valley, which will find its official release February 23 on Thrill Jockey. Get your tickets here: http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/4067
