the experimental banjo noise of paul metzger

you might not know the name paul metzger, but fans of experimental music sure should.

he plays on the banjo what might be classified as psychedelic post-folk drone.....

metzger's music shares more affinity with free jazz than the bluegrass you usually hear out of the banjo.  so maybe that's why its so entrancing and interesting.

or it could just be that no one else is creating anything like this on the banjo, or on any instrument for that matter.....

tiny grooves suggests that you check his various albums out,  all good, if yr in the mood for something far out.....

and take note if you live in chicago,......paul metzger is playing a free in-store performance at permanent records on monday june 20th at 5pm.....

don't miss out.  not all interesting experimental music is made with a guitar........

watch below....
