Tune in during the 4 p.m. hour for an interview and live set with Gory Dove who play at Avalon Lounge later in the evening. Sean Cronin’s Gory Dove (an anagram offshoot of his 8-piece NYC-based group Very Good) showcases his music’s further descent into strange beauty. Living in the woods in Canada, inviting 2 dogs into his life, discovering woodworking, living in a travel trailer, and rekindling his love of sound have all somehow worked their way into a new music with a new feeling. Hiding somewhere between the Memphis Jug Band and Kurt Cobain sits Gory Dove. The instrumentation is distinct, using bass sax, twelve-string guitar, pump organ, and trap kit. Gory Dove still draws from its big sister band Very Good and its influences (Leonard Cohen, Kurt Weill, The Pixies, Charles Mingus, Moondog, etc), but somehow this new music gives voice to the small-town artsy redneck, drawing a little closer to Sean’s homeland of the Canadian Rockies and his current home of Catskill NY. Never satisfied to just play music, Cronin continues to incorporate theatrical elements into his performances, generating disparate emotional qualities from the character of each song. He appears at times sneering and unlikeable, at times innocently earnest, but is always leading the listener into a living, reflective, and rhythmic realm of song.

Featuring:
Sean Cronin: guitars, piano, banjolele, voice
Kyle Morgan: guitar, steel guitar, pump organ
Tom Abbot: Bass Sax, Clarinet
Jay Lepley: Drums
