Mobtown Modern

Low Art

Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 8 p.m. @ Metro Gallery

In 1962 Chubby Checker posed the timeless question: How low can you go? Though not noted for their limbo ability, Mobtown Modern curator Brian Sacawa and Jennifer Everhart possess some serious saxophone and clarinet cred. And tonight they show you that theirs is indeed bigger than yours with a program featuring some really big members of their instrument families. Audience members should be forewarned: word is that they may just hit the brown note. (Just kidding.)

Tickets are $10, general admission and $5 for Contemporary Museum members and students with a valid ID.
