Landlady

For our first Baum Baum Club residency, we reached out to friend of the studio, Adam Schatz to join us for a 2 day gauntlet of events. If you do not know Adam, there is a very good chance you have heard his music. Often performing under the moniker of his personal project Landlady , Schatz is an intensely versatile multi-instrumentalist who tours with artists like Japanese Breakfast and Neko Case and collaborates with other multi-hyphenates on his improvisational project, Civil Engineering. And when he's not busy touring Adam might be found in any number of studios (including his own in Vermont) producing or arranging, as he does for many artists too numerous to list, or lending his considerable literary talent to outlets such as Talkhouse. On Wednesday June 10th, the ever charismatic, Adam Schatz, will be joining us for his first performance at the club as Landlady. Opening for Adam will be local talent, Pat Kelly. In partnership with Telegraph Tree “This is the part of the song when we come together,” Adam Schatz’s voice rings out. “There’s no before. There’s no after. There’s only this.” Schatz leads Landlady, the Brooklyn five-piece whose 2014 Hometapes debut, Upright Behavior, boldly disrupts the notion of genre and reveals the soulful and continually-resonating work of Schatz and core band members Ian Chang, Ian McLellan Davis, Booker Stardrum, and Will Graefe, as well as a cast of NYC-based contributors gathered from Schatz’s tandem walks of life as a solo musician, improviser, organizer, collaborator, promoter, and writer. Compared to rock and roll juggernauts like The Band and Talking Heads, Landlady merge vast skill, a bend toward experimentation, and a proven belief that songs can be a true extension of the human experience. The result is timeless and charted by their recorded works and transformative live shows — both critically-acclaimed and ever-evolving. The next era was revealed this summer: Heat, a new EP, was released for free to fans worldwide
