Local/Live: October 6 – Chris Rosenau
POSTED:: September 30, 2015
FILED UNDER:: In-Studio Performances, Interviews, Local/Live, Special Programming
To list out Milwaukeean Chris Rosenau’s current and former groups is to go back to the dusty depths of the late 90s (Vermont) and page through to the ever-morphing and still active projects of Collections of Colonies of Bees and Volcano Choir. The current state of Rosenau sees him taking a solo flight, but not straying far from the source of his group musical roots, past or current; guitars create an undulating storyline that is lively and inspiring, joined together by loops and subtle auxiliary embellishments.
The recent output of Rosenau’s solo effort is a pair of songs recorded for a 2011 performance at Milwaukee’s Cactus Club that on record, adds that auxiliary instrumentation from his family members. “Pearl” and “F/Lynn” was released on Bandcamp this past summer and was re-performed for the Eaux Claires fesitval in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and a return show at the Cactus Club.
