Join us on Tuesday, June 4th for a special performance by solo cellist and avant-pop artist, Ian Cooke.
Doors 6:30 pm. Show 7 pm. Donation based, suggested $10.
Ian often uses a loop pedal to layer his cello and voice and over the past 20 years, he has developed a truly original style of music. His influences include classical, pop, film & TV scores, prog-rock, world music, musical theater, and jazz. He was born in Adelaide, Australia, and grew up in Greeley, CO.
Cooke has appeared in SPIN magazine and was voted Number One Band in The Denver Post Underground Music poll of 2009. Westword Magazine named him Best Avant-pop Artist and his debut album, The Fall I Fell, Best Album of 2007.
Over the years, Cooke has released four albums and a children's book. His third album, Antiquasauria, is a prog-rock concept album about Mesozoic life. It includes a coloring book and a downloadable font, both designed by Cooke.
Cooke has had the honor of performing at TedXMileHigh, and 3 concerts with the Colorado Symphony at Boettcher Concert Hall.
