Eli Winter + Jordan Reyes + Rebecca Valeriano-Flores

The Empty Bottle's free Monday concert make a triumphant return in September, and local guitarist Eli Winter is headlining the the first one since 2019. A young guitarist with an ear for emotive melodies, Winter's instrumental finger-picked arrangements evoke the work of Jack Rose, John Fahey and contemporaries like William Tyler and Daniel Bachman. His recent sophomore release Unbecoming strings together a suite of freewheeling tracks, accompanied by members of local groups like Circuit Des Yeux and Mute Duo. Here, he'll be joined by Sam Wagster and Tyler Damon, performing tracks from a forthcoming record. Show up early to hear set from experimental musician Jordan Reyes and Negative Scanner guitarist Rebecca Valeriano-Flores.
