OPENING RECEPTION WEEKEND: 11/22/24 - 11/24/24
11/22 FRIDAY 6-9p 11/23 SATURDAY 2-6p 11/24 SUNDAY 2-6p music performance by Sammy Mellman Sammy Mellman is a New Jersey-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and high school music teacher. Pulled towards strange chord progressions and melancholic hooks, he came to a uniquely focused and resonant sound performing 4-part solo trombone looping arrangements throughout the 2010s, before beginning to explore songwriting more earnestly leading up to 2020. Taking after some 1960s melodic sensibilities crossed with more contemporary bedroom-based projects, he composes scenic, wistful, and diary-like tunes that invite the listener to both escape and appreciate the natural world and present moment. |
