Mark Trecka & Elephant Micah Perform Live on the McDermott Court Dot

Hosted by:

Originally aired:

Pillars and Tongues is a trio based in Chicago, IL, whose musical pursuits seem to defy genre categorization. The trio makes extended use of the human voice, violin, double bass, drums, bells and organs. The music is perhaps distinctly American in both its affair with American forms and its refusal to adhere to them at all. These performances will feature Mark Trecka and Elizabeth Remis, both of Pillars and Tongues, performing material both within and outside of the Pillars canon. Kentuckiana's ELEPHANT MICAH has been practicing the fine art of flying under the radar for almost a decade now. In the middle 2000s, along string of home-fi folk rock albums earned the band praise from avant-music mag The Wire and overseas gigs with Jason Molina's Magnolia Electric Company. In 2010, ELEPHANT MICAH returns with a major CD/LP release on Time-Lag Records and its first American tour in five years. ELEPHANT MICAH is the name of a music collective led by musician Joe O'Connell. In addition, he has released work on his own LRRC (Luddite Rural Recording Cooperative), which has also released work from collaborators Justin Vollmar and Jason Henn.
