MARISA ANDERSON & JIM WHITE
Join Ars Nova Workshop for a performance by the adventurous duo of folk guitarist Marisa Anderson and avant-garde drummer Jim White at Solar Myth (1131 S. Broad Street) on Sunday, December 11. Jim White and Marisa Anderson share an abounding appetite for musical exploration. White, as a member of Dirty Three and Xylouris White, is well known for his creative and idiosyncratic drumming. His singular abilities have also led to collaborations with Cat Power, PJ Harvey, and Bill Callahan, among others. Anderson’s prolific output as a solo performer, her mastery of traditional folk and blues forms, and her abilities to make them entirely her own has established her as one of the most exciting and forward-thinking guitarists of the last decade.
