DOSH Dishes Out Experimental Sounds at BSP Lounge

DOSH's Martin Dosh

Along with being Andrew Bird’s main musical collaborator for the last few years, Minneapolis multi-instrumentalist and composer Martin Dosh has also worked with Bonnie Prince Billy, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, and Bon Iver, who has called Dosh “a national treasure.” But besides all that, Dosh, who plays at BSP Lounge next Tuesday, has his own ongoing solo recording and touring project—called DOSH, of course—which has thus far produced six albums of his oddball, loop-based solo performances.

Elder scenesters may recall Dosh from his 1990s years of studying music and literature at Simon’s Rock in Western Massachusetts and, later, at SUNY New Paltz. Back then, he was a strong presence on the local music scene, drumming with the band Como Zoo and establishing himself as an adventurous improviser at jam sessions and open mikes.

Check out a bit of DOSH weaving sounds in this 2012 radio session:

DOSH will perform with the Sweet Clementines and the Fasads at BSP Lounge in Kingston on December 3 at 8pm. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 day of show. For details, call (845) 481-5158 or visit http://bspkingston.com/.
