review. This multi-instrumental virtuoso is a world music

pioneer whose repertoire includes African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic,

and Turkish traditions, as well as a wide array of traditional

American forms. His performances also feature an amazingly

wide array of acoustic and electric acoustic instruments,

Middle Eastern oud, Irish bouzouki, and more. In 1967 Lindley

founded the first world music rock band, Kaleidoscope, and

since then his career has been shaped by lengthy collaborations

with Jackson Browne, Ry Cooder, guitarist Henry Kaiser (with

whom he recorded 2 Grammy-nominated CDs of collaborations

with Malagasy musicians), and Jordanian percussionist Hani

Naser. $17.50. [venue info]

Elbow Room: Neptune

Detroit experimental rock band. Opening acts are Orange Robot, a Detroit avant-rock band whose music suggests elements of Pink Floyd, Sonic Youth, and Radiohead, and Elle & the Fonts, the stage name of Elle Sawa, a Ferndale emo singer-songwriter who bills herself as "a horrible guitar player [who] likes to think she makes up for it through her exceptionally amusing stage presence and vocal performances."
