Institute 193 is pleased to welcome Detroit-based acoustic guitarist Nick Schillace. Schillace's third album A Rich Boy's Measured Blues, released this past April, is a phenomenal record of all original works, recorded live without overdubs. We were lucky enough to see Schillace earlier this summer at the 21c Museum Hotel, and feel strongly that his performances are not to be missed. You can get a taste of his music here in the leadup to the show.

“If the hardest-driving works of Leo Kottke, Peter Lang and Jack Rose are your cup of meat, you’ll want to latch onto Detroit native Nick Schillace’s latest. Wedding ferocious syncopation and a rock-solid right hand with an inspired sense of what’s possible for the guitar, he makes what I think of as ‘old world’ solo guitar albums — punchy, no BS, straight from the shoulder. Love it!”
     - Glenn Jones

We're also lucky to have R. Keenan Lawler from Louisville opening the show, whose highly personal and exploratory language on the steel bodied resonator guitar has been called "cosmic, monolithic and deeply American". His music is informed by sources ranging from Carnatic classical, Charles Ives, Albert Ayler, blues, minimalism and non western trance musics. You can listen to a recent record, a collaboration with John Krausbauer titled Spinnan, here.
