Experimental pianist McDonas to perform at Dunaway Books October 2

Regular StLJN informant Brett Underwood, who hosts the No Show on KDHX, sends word that pianist Thollem McDonas will be in town on Sunday, October 2 for a performance at Dunaway Books, 3111 S. Grand (just south of Arsenal).

Honestly, I don't know much about McDonas other than that his work falls generally into the broad category of experimental/improv, but a look at his Web site suggests that it could be a very interesting performance. If you'd like a preview, Brett says he'll be playing some of McDonas's stuff on the No Show, which airs late Thursdays/early Fridays from midnight to 2 a.m.

In addition to McDonas' performance, local improv maven Eric Hall will be assembling a group to open the show. I have no information on ticket prices yet, but I'm guessing "inexpensive" More info to follow as available...

UPDATE 9/15/05: Tickets for the show will be $6, and the concert will feature McDonas, Hall, Darin Gray, and Dave Stone performing separately and together.
