Galactic Duo to Prove (Again) They're Out of This World

Saturday, Dec. 30

I've said it before (more than once), and I'll say it again — and again: Tony Grey and Ian Maciak are (to me) most definitely two of the artists who make Erie's music scene plenty worth writing about, and any chance (for you) to see them should not be missed.

And the chance to catch the Galactic Duo crafting their sonic brew on the day before New Year's Eve? And at the King's Rook Club?

Well, happy holidays, everybody.

Grey is one of the jazz world's — like, the whole jazz world's — most outstanding and in-demand bassists, and Maciak is one amazingly versatile percussionist, regularly collaborating locally (along with Grey) with musicians like Zack Orr of SpaceLounge Productions, Adam Holquist, and Stephen Trohoske, forming the trio known as Human Flux.

Another thing I've said before (and will say again) is that the fact these guys are just two of the mega-talented musicians who call Erie their home base is really good reason — great reason — for us all listen to up.

Enjoy the present(s), Erie.
