“The music throughout [Victor Vieira-Branco’s BARK CULTURE‘s] The Giant is Awkward is enthralling, mysterious, intelligent, disconcerting, and beautiful.” – Aquarium Drunkard
Victor Vieira-Branco’s BARK CULTURE is a trio led by vibraphonist Victor Vieira-Branco featuring drummer Joey Sullivan and bassist John Moran. With over four years of immersive collaboration, the trio is known for their strong ensemble identity, high-energy live performances and extensive touring. Their record “Warm Wisdom” was cited as the Debut Release of 2024 by New York Times Jazz Critic Hank Shteamer and listed as Best Jazz on Bandcamp September 2024. More recently, the trio was enlisted by Rob Mazurek to perform on the soundtrack of Kelly Reichardt’s new film The Mastermind which premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. For the group’s second album The Giant Is Awkward, the trio is joined by pianist and composer Sam Yulsman for five pieces that mirror the prismatic nature of a sound Vieira-Branco has been tirelessly crafting with the group since 2021. With the addition of Yulsman, the group reveals, as Peter Margasak states, “a heightened sensitivity and grace, with increased harmonic splendor thanks to the added chordal voice. The record also marks the vibraphonist’s clear growth as a composer.”
ZEUS, AGAIN is the musical project of Ken Brown, Bob Dixon, and Mathias Kolehmainen. They perform on electric bass, electric guitar, and drums. Collectively they have many decades of experience in performing and recording groups that have been based in Chicago, Louisville, and the Bay Area. Their music builds on their experiences in post rock, post punk, jazz, noise, ambient, traditional settings; references the work of their peers in the contemporary neo-minimalist community; and explores novel interpretations of their personal canons.
THE GLEAMING CORRIDOR is the instrumental electronic solo recording project of Ben Sears, a longtime Louisville area drummer and cartoonist. After six years and three self-recorded/released full length cassettes, he is making his live debut in late summer 2026.
Special thanks to Ben Sears.
