Chris Forsyth Drawing Sonic Maps at JB’s Jan. 29

Chris Forsyth showcases the art of guitar playing tonight at Johnny Brenda’s. In town for some home cooking, Forsyth crafts musical sojourns drawing sonic maps, which turn at a moments notice, even backtracking to a common thread or chord when he sees fit. The key isn’t attempting to nail down the route that this experimental path takes, but rather to embrace the unknown possibilities that accompany a trip off the beaten path. Fellow drone guitarist Ben Seretan will also etch the cosmic musical surface, while Neighborhood Choir, a.k.a. Bennett Daniels who will be joined by Andy Molholt (Laser Background), Paul Sukeena (Spacin’) and Steve Urgo (Speed Skating, ex-War on Drugs), floats on a peaceful cloud of auditory bliss. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
