An Evening with Tim Motzer

After supporting vocalist Michelle Lordi at The Living Room in April, experimental acoustic/electric guitarist Tim Motzer returns for an evening of solo guitar.

Motzer is one of the busiest performers and collaborators around. His 20 years of world touring, five solo albums, and stunning collaborations including over 80 albums of credits, Motzer continues to "traverse manifold territories in music" (Guitar Player magazine).

Motzer is widely known for his distinct textural acoustic-electro guitar voice utilizing looping, bowing, electronics, and prepared techniques. From 2016-18, Motzer toured the world playing prestigious venues and jazz festivals with Bandit65, an improvising trio he co-leads with guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and drummer Gintas Janusonis. He has also collaborated with numerous musical luminaries including David Sylvian, Burnt Friedman, Jaki Liebezeit, poet Ursula Rucker, King Britt, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Vernon Reid, David Torn, Markus Reuter, and Pat Mastelotto, among others. Motzer's work has appeared in the hit HBO series True Blood as well a major motion picture directed by Michael Mann. As an in-demand solo live composer/improviser in the world of modern dance, Motzer played to sold-out houses in Tokyo, Japan; Seoul, South Korea; Oujda, Morocco; Toronto, Canada; and in his hometown Philadelphia, PA. For nearly a decade, he has served as a live accompanist for master choreographers at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Motzer brings his dynamic, eclectic array of musical projects together under his own 1k Recordings imprint, which has over 40 releases and counting. For more information visit www.1krecordings.com.
