"Percussionist Meyerson programmed this year's brilliant edition of SF Performance's PIVOT Festival, whose "Legacies" opening night included himself, guitarist Andrews, and powerhouse vocalist Tanner Porter performing works by the Sleeping Giant composers group and their students. These ranged from Andrew Norman's electrifying setting of a reading of California's 2023 AB1780 bill forbidding legacy admissions in universities to Rohan Chander's hardcore phrasing in "stones don't lie.""
"The second saw Meyerson and Andrews presenting a reunion of local avant-cabaret trio the Qube Chix, including composer Pamela Z, at their groundbreaking performance venue Roar Shack, which was a little like witnessing Laurie Anderson and Meredith Monk go Riot Grrrl at Club 57."
"Andrews taking the stage during the February edition of SF Symphony's immersive Soundbox series, curated by plucky violinist Alexi Kenny, for local composer Dylan Mattingly's "Goodbye Sonnet," which set his deceased father's poetry to gorgeously ruminative music."
Andy Meyerson and Travis Andrews, members of the contemporary duo The Living Earth Show, have recently curated and performed in multiple groundbreaking musical events. Meyerson programmed SF Performance's PIVOT Festival, featuring works by Sleeping Giant composers including Andrew Norman's piece set to California's AB1780 bill and Rohan Chander's experimental compositions. The duo reunited the avant-cabaret trio Qube Chix at Roar Shack, featuring composer Pamela Z in a performance combining avant-garde and Riot Grrrl aesthetics. Andrews performed in SF Symphony's Soundbox series with Dylan Mattingly's "Goodbye Sonnet," a composition setting the composer's deceased father's poetry to music. These projects demonstrate their commitment to experimental music across chamber, vocal, and immersive performance contexts.
