Williamstown, Massachusetts—The Clark Art Institute continues its “Locals at the Lunder Center” series with a free concert on Sunday, September 11 starting at 4:15 in the  Lunder Center’s Moltz Terrace.

The Philadelphia and New York City based band Elkhorn will perform followed by local musical group Sound For.

Elkhorn's sound traverses the plains of American Primitivism, traditional folk, and consciousness-expanding psychedelia. 

“Elkhorn blends acoustic with electric which is described as “down-home and astral, enchanted rock and musical poetry,”

Guitarist Jesse Sheppard plays twelve-string acoustic and guitarist Drew Gardner plays electric; drummer Ian McColm joins Sheppard and Gardner for their performance at the Lunder Center.

Elkhorn’s performance at the Clark is the sole Massachusetts performance on their current tour.

Tonally obscure and as melted as it is measured, Berkshire County quartet Sound For comprises local musicians Brian Kantor, Miles Lally, Wes Buckley, and John Prusinski. 

The group follows in the footsteps of previous open form players attempting to free instruments of their assumed roles by democratizing rhythms and harmony and creating sound for any occasion.

 Sound For’s recent improvisational sessions (all recorded over the last year) are pending a release on Condiment Records.

 Presented in partnership with Belltower Records (North Adams, Massachusetts), the performance kicks off an upcoming series of live music events that feature new experimentations in sound, in conjunction with the changing of the seasons. 

 In the event of inclement weather, the event moves to the Clark’s auditorium.

Free; no registration is required. Please bring your own snacks or beverages and seating. More information here.
