Over three Thursdays in June, the Matt Smiley Quintet will be diving deep into the music and complex energy of the brilliant David Bowie. Bowie without a doubt was one of the most influential musical artists of the 20th century and the ripples of his ideas will continue to travel far and wide. This series, co-developed with Nocturne has been highly anticipated and we can’t wait to hear this project on stage!
