Weekly live music session featuring Joseph E. Reed, known as The One Man Orchestra, performing solo with violin, guitar and live loops at Ashland.
Joseph E. Reed plays Ashland on Thursday, October 15, as part of the Midtown Sessions series. He performs under the name The One Man Orchestra, and the title isn't a stretch: he's the only person on stage. He builds his sound by layering violin and guitar with live loops, so you're watching him play one part, record it, and then play over the top of it until it sounds like a full ensemble coming from a single person.
Midtown Sessions is a weekly series at Ashland that runs every Thursday from 6 PM to 8 PM, and this particular run stretches through the end of the year, so if you miss this one, there's another Thursday coming up soon. Reed's set fits that early-evening slot—it's a single performer working in real time, adding layers as he goes rather than playing along to a pre-recorded track.
