Club d'Elf returns to the Lizard Lounge August 22nd for two shows for a complete midsummer nights dream. The line up for this show features Amy Bellamy (keys) Lyle Brewer (guitar), Mister Rourke (turntables), Mike Rivard (bass & sintir) and Dean Johnston
(drums).
Club d'Elf has been helping audiences lose track of time for twenty
six years with its mesmerizing synthesis of Moroccan traditional music
and electronic, dubbed-out funk. Circling about bassist/composer Mike
Rivard, each performance features a different line-up, drawn from a
constellation of some of the most creative improvisers from the jazz,
DJ, rock & world music scenes of Boston, NYC and beyond. Named Jazz
Act Of The Year in the 2023 Boston Music Awards, the band's music
defies easy categorization, and draws from hip hop, electronica, avant
garde, prog-rock and dub as well as jazz. Through the influence of
Brahim Fribgane, the band absorbed Gnawa music from Morocco. This
element is now an essential part of the Club d'Elf sound, featuring
Rivard’s commanding playing of the sintir, a three-stringed bass lute
used by the Gnawa in their trance-healing ceremonies. Trance forms the
central core of the Club d’Elf aesthetic, weaving together the band’s
various influences.
