In a return to the Alphabet City stage, Thumbscrew (Tomas Fujiwara, Michael Formanek, and Mary Halvorson) debut a program of original compositions, developed and rehearsed over the course of their 5th biennial residency at City of Asylum.  The band has made albums in each of their previous residencies here, with album artwork featuring scenes from our beloved Northside neighborhood, and song titles named after anything from the neighborhood streets to the cry of the anahinga from the National Aviary. 

Featured Musicians:

Tomas Fujiwara: drums and vibraphone

Michael Formanek: double bass

Mary Halvorson: guitar
