Today on the "WGXC Afternoon Show" Rob Saffer, host of WGXC show "Overlooked" interviews musician Marc Ribot who is performing at Hudson Hall on February 22, 2025. In his over 40 year career, Marc Ribot has created iconic music with the likes of Tom Waits, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp, Marianne Faithful, and many more. For his Hudson Hall debut, Ribot reunites with drummer Chad Taylor to continue the Albert Ayler-tinged trajectory they begun in the early aughts with their band Spiritual Unity and then the Grimes Taylor Ribot Trio, this time with the added talents of former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg and the fearless guitarist/improvisator Ava Mendoza (Unnatural Ways, The Violent Femmes, tUnE-yArDs).
