Stephen Becker • Chelsea Crabtree • SHUTTER Jan 5
7:30 Door 8:00 Show $12 suggested donation
Stephen Becker lives in the cracks between blissful and odd, writing songs about love, life, happiness, unhappiness, and whatever else comes to mind in the endless stream of consciousness. When he’s not out playing with bands like Rubblebucket, Katie Von Schleicher, Strawberry Runners, and Market, he can be found front and center in his own project. With an obsessive background in jazz, an amatuer affinity for classical music, and a fluency in indie rock, Steve can be found honing in on an art and craft that somehow looks like all and none, balancing songwriting with improv, counterpoint, and sound design. His latest instrumental album, Phosphenes & Allegories, was released on Atlantic Rhythms in 2023.
Chelsea Crabtree is a Brooklyn based singer-songwriter originally from Seattle, WA. Growing up in a very musical family, she has been singing with her 8 siblings from a very young age. After studying jazz voice in college, she has now been inspired to write her own songs. Her music draws from elements of folk, pop, soul and 90’s rock music. She will be joined at The Owl by Gregg Belisle-Chi, Sam Decker, Chris Parker and Sam Weber.
