Join us each month at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum to enjoy performing arts in the Park! Spread a blanket on the ground or bring your own chair for a wonderful evening of music.
Growing up in Cavendish, Vermont, Matt Lorenz, “The Suitcase Junket” began playing piano at age five, and later took up violin, saxophone, and guitar. During his years at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, he studied music and adaptive instrument design, a pursuit that included building a prototype for a drummer who couldn’t use their legs, where they’d be able to play the bass drum and hi-hat through a system of pulleys.
‘The Suitcase Junket’ is a nod to Lorenz’s longtime love of collecting old suitcases, including an antique that he’s refurbished into a bass drum, and to a secondary definition of junket, i.e. “a pleasure excursion.”
“THE OVERALL SOUND LANDS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE AVETT BROTHERS AND EARLY, DIRTY BLACK KEYS. THERE’S A TOM WAITS-VIBE IN THE FUZZY-MEGAPHONE REVERB MIC, AND SOMETHING ANCIENT, NEAR TRIBAL, IN HIS WHISTLES AND MOANS.”
