The group Rope and solo performer The Forest Room play Best Video Performance Space on Wednesday, Nov. 11. The music starts at 8 PM and the cover is $5.
ROPE is a New Haven based trio playing original music, classics, underground gems, lowdown blues and folk. We also dig surf-music and lay it out both electric and acoustic. Members are all veteran performers having played in such bands as Bill Bakers Satins, SUBDUEDS (New Haven), Christine Ohlman, Hilton Valentine’s Skiffledog (guitarist for The Animals) to name a few. Sal Paradise—guitars vocals, composer/arranger—has been active in the New Haven and CT Music scene since 1978.
ROPE is Sal Paradise (guitar, vocals) Pat Quinn, (drums, back-up vocals) and David Hurd (bass).
Opener The Forest Room is Matt Streit playing solo acoustic guitar through a bevy of effects pedals.The Forest Room conjures up wonderful psychedelic ambient instrumentals, lush with echoes and oftentimes playing counter-melodies against his own lines repeated through loop pedals.
