Jason Webley headlines the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, May 28th

Jason Webley will be performing at the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, May 28th




i live in a little floating house on the river.
just past the train tracks.
but i am never there, but i'm always home.
i am usually in an airplane, or on a train, or in a tomato.
but someday i will save up enough money to buy myself a blimp.

i play the accordion
and some other things
i have made some records.

i am in love with life.

Adron will be performing before Jason Webley



"Adron is the eponymous debut and stage moniker of twenty year-old Adrienne McCann. Influenced by late ‘60s Brazilian Tropicàlia, Adron has infused her debut with an international texture and a remarkably vintage sound. She adds to her songs a unique array of embellishments, whistles, and mouth-clicks, and a lyrical sensibility both intelligent and whimsical. Adron plays her nylon string guitar with the casually adept flourish of a Bossa Nova maestro twice her age. This becomes more impressive when we learn that the majority of these songs were originally written when she was fifteen and sixteen years old. There’s a double-awareness in Adron’s music that eludes many songwriters; a sense of self-identity and astute observation that allows her to combine the earnest yearnings of a teenage American girl with the classic melodies and rhythms of a musical movement that began in another country, more than twenty years before she was born. Her youthful exuberance and adroit musicianship together form a style both distinctive and pleasing, but it is her rare ability to meld genre, geography, and musical epochs that reveal the true breadth of Adron’s talent. One can easily sense that this debut is but the first notable stirring of an expansive musical journey to come." -courtesy of New Street Records

Jeffrey Bützer will be performing solo a live score to Buster Keaton's film The Balloonatic as the opener.



Although raised by a piano teacher/church organist, Jeffrey is a self-taught musician/composer. He began playing drums at age nine, then picked up guitar and piano in his teen years and began writing instrumentals. Over the years, accordion, toy piano, electric piano, chord organs, glockenspiel, melodica, banjo and other noise makers have worked their way into his repertoire. His debut full-length album She Traded Her Leg (Lona Records, 2006) was received to great acclaim and supported by an international tour, including dates in Hong Kong, Paris, and across the United States. His follow up release, The Garden of Scissors (2009) continues in the imaginitive musical collagework of his prior release while expanding on new ground, including collaborations with Sanni Baumgaertner of Dancer vs. Politician.
