On the evening of Friday, June 5th, we were thrilled and delighted to feature experimental electronic musician Alex Ruiz’ solo project Carnal Ex (MX), experimental electronic musician Bubba Fontaine (IND), improvisational musician Devin Sherman's solo project Devin's Mostly not Blue (PGH), and free jazz improvisation group Cox Quintet (CMH).
Supporters of our 2025-2026 season include the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Ohio Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Columbus Foundation.
About the artist:
‘Devin’s mostly not blue’ is the stage name of Devin Sherman – a classically-trained guitarist turned improvising musician in the indie-jazz/experimental vein with flavors of funk, folk, and alternative music sprinkled in. His introspective, tone-painting approach draws listeners in to examine the colors, textures, and stories that underly his improvisations. Some tunes sound like a musical Alexander Calder mobile and others splinter and split between jazz and bluegrass and blues. He explores forms and textures, melodies and harmonies, moods and vibes in real-time. He strives to capture sounds that intrigue and express real, genuine, human feelings. A few artist inspirations are Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, and Mary Halvorson.
