Englert Presents
Chris Acker

Intimate @ The Englert
Sunday, September 28 @ 7:
Sponsored by: Discerning Eye Optical

In the tradition of Guthrie and Prine, Chris lends a quavering voice to the half-rotten romance of the unremarkable and unrefined. Regardless if you’re sitting by a backyard fire on a muggy Louisiana night or standing stage-side in some far flung town, when you hear Chris Acker playing, you’re hearing the end result of countless hours of observing the masters of the craft…and the end result of repeating their mistakes.

Buyepongo

Live @ The Englert
Saturday, October 4 @ 7:30pm

As a part of the first annual Cultural Latino Week in Iowa City, a multi-venue Latino festival, The Englert Theatre presents Buyepongo!

Buyepongo, an L.A.-based band known for their infectious Buyangu sound, has become a well-known name in the Los Angeles music scene. However, their musical repertoire extends far beyond cumbia. Buyepongo is a riotous fusion of influences, seamlessly blending hip-hop, punk, funk, and jazz into a deliriously infectious tropical mix that spans the rich tapestry of the Latin American culture.

Hancher Auditorium Presents
Imani Winds and Harlem Quartet

Live @ The Englert
Friday, October 10 @ 7:30pm

Jeffrey SCOTT: Passion for Bach and Coltrane  
An eight-movement suite for wind quintet, string quartet, jazz trio, and orator 

“The signature contribution of this group [is] a technical ease with extravagant gestures, intense production of sound, and the daring expressive liberties that come only after musicians have developed a sixth sense of ensemble-bonding. Imani’s got it all.” – Philadelphia Inquirer 

“[A]n assured technique, a vibrant tone and, yes, enough energy to be harnessed as a new source of green power.” – NPR on Harlem Quartet
