About the Musicians
John Kiran Fernandes (clarinet) is well-known local musician who needs no introduction. With Olivia Tremor Control, he opened for Beck and Stereolab, among others. He currently performs shows of ambient/minimalist looped clarinet, as well as with collaborations in a variety of contexts.
Laura Camacho (double-bass) is a bassist and composer from Argentina, with a broad musical background. She serves as the director of the Athens Tango Project, performs in symphony orchestras in the southeast, and has toured and recorded with several artists.
Davy Gibbs (drums) has lived and played drums in Athens since the late 90s, performing as a member of Casper & The Cookies, Titans of Filth, Tracer Matula, Gemini Cricket, Night Nurses, Star Slammer, and LumuS.
Athens, Georgia-based guitarist Shane Parish devotes much of his time to developing his singular and expressive musicianship. He is a self-taught player who communicates through emotion, unexpected melodicism, technical whimsy, a nuanced sense of form, and rich timbral variety, simultaneously drawing from the guitar’s history and aiming for its future.
