Party: Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls) & Robert Millis, with Gretchen Snakes & S.P Davis

An evening with American composer, guitarist and singer best known for his work with the Sun City Girls, Sir Richard Bishop.

With special guests Robert Millis, Gretchen Snakes and S.P Davis.

Sir Richard Bishop
Combining soulfulness and advanced technique with a panache that’s nearly unrivaled among today’s guitarists, Sir Richard Bishop is a relentless performer and an experimental artist whose improvisations and compositions reflect the shadow worlds of India, the Middle East, North Africa, and other points along the Gypsy trail. Best known as a founding member (along with brother Alan Bishop) of ethnic-improv pioneers and underground tricksters Sun City Girls, who for nearly 30 years have produced an acclaimed discography of over 50 full-length albums, 20 cassettes, and a dozen 7″ records, Bishop’s distinguished canon of solo work is equally world-renowned.

Robert Millis
Robert Millis is an award-winning sound artist, producer, guitarist, and composer, a regular contributor to the Sublime Frequencies label, and a founding member of Climax Golden Twins and AFCGT. Having scored films, created sound installations, produced and designed audio projects, and released a repertoire of solo albums, his work veers haphazardly between art, music concrete, instrumental, improv, field recording, and classic songwriting. Millis also has a deep interest in folk and traditional music, so imagine Pete Seeger trying to cover “Revolution 9″ by the Beatles, and you’ll get a sense of what this artist is about.

Gretchen Snakes
Abstract, psychedelic and cathartic. Compositions for the electric guitar by Brody Mcknight (Nu Sensae). The Gretchen Snake sound is not one to be described but experienced.

S.P Davis
Spencer Davis is a talented multi-instrumentalist and a fixture in the Vancouver underground music scene. When Spencer's not making music under Nervous Operator, or in the band Cowards, hes crafting engrossing fingerstyle compositions for the acoustic guitar. Mixing baroque and classical influences along with blues and psychedelia, Spencer creates compositions that bring to mind the more esoteric sides of John Fahey and Robbie Basho.
