We are delighted to introduce a new twist on The Edwardian Ball experience for 2024...
We proudly present Friday night's "Edwardian Eve", a twilight prelude to Saturday's Ball featuring extraordinary music, magic, mentalism, and immersive worlds! Featuring...
Whiskerman
Whiskerman is a rock-and-roll overture to our great unraveling. Over the last decade the Oakland-based band has developed an underground reputation for tackling the sublime with their ambitious songwriting, thunderous stage show, and acute lyricism.
Frontman Graham Patzner, who will crow like a medicine show preacher and then coo you into the arms of his lovesick eternity, might be a spitfire protege of the underworld himself, though again and again he will remind you that there is no rapture without artistry. On the surface this is splendid rock-and-roll, rooted in the classic, psych and glam rock tradition, but the pageantry and chaos of Whiskerman’s performances will leave you describing an experience more than a sound.
Will Magid (Balkan Bump)
Oakland California based Trumpet Player / Producer / Ethnomusicologist / DJ Will Magid's music is always a joyous affair. His unique style of live performance and electronic sampling seamlessly blend His newest project is Balkan Bump, which is signed to Gramatik's Lowtemp Label. The project currently touring in Theaters across the U.S and Canada. A collector of sounds, Will layers the familiar with the curious, building imaginary worlds somehow both strange and close to home.
The Forgetmenauts
The Forgetmenauts weave folklore and mythology into a strange, fresh, and rich soundscape. Their musicality is orchestral, folksy, alternative, and punk all at once. Their lyrics spin old tales and new into exciting and poetic songs that weave together love and queerness, longing and revenge. Come for the Marriage of Bigfoot and Mothman, stay for the Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad.
