Open Lot presents Dutch composer and lutist Jozef van Wissem, celebrated for his integration of classical pieces, musical palindromes, electronic improvisation, and field recordings into elegiac masterpieces.

" Jozef van Wissem has been slowly reinventing the lute for the last three decades. Among the slew of fast-picking, fancy-fretting guitar players so prevalent today, his lute’s voice is a quiet oasis, and Stations of the Cross a small masterpiece ." - The Wire

"Dutch lutist Jozef van Wissem catches his own reflection in tender, minimalist picking and gold-spray overdubs." - Rolling Stone Magazine

This event occurs at Open Lot Nashville, 9-11pm, April 16th.  Admission price is $10.00 at the door or $15.00 with open bar (ID required).
