Curtis Eller & The American Circus with MOA

Doors: 8pm | Show: 9pm

Tickets: $10 (plus online fees)

Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter, dancer, and storyteller. The beloved show business veteran started his career at the age of seven as a juggler and acrobat, but has since turned to the banjo because that's where the money is. The iconoclastic troubadour has spent thirty years relentlessly touring the burlesque houses, beer halls, underground theatres, and punk rock dives of North America, Europe, and Australia. His band, Curtis Eller’s American Circus, has developed a devoted international following based on spellbinding stage performances that combine compelling song craft with silent-film-style physical comedy, and explosive rock & roll energy.

Moa is a band from Charlotte, North Carolina, known for their ethereal, dream-like sound. Their soundscape is haunting and vast, often morphing dissonance and darkness with a delicate and quiet resolve. Music journalist Pat Moran writes, “Moa’s music is like diving into a bottomless well only to discover you’re floating untethered in a sky full of stars.” NPR's Joni Deutsch describes the band as "a lovely, dark and deep tour of musical ambience."
