Sondra Ow Sun-Odeon sings as if reading ancient chants straight out of the Cosmonomicon, while Shawn Bosler's array of guitars wrap her in darkly patterned blankets. FLAVORPILL: Brooklyn duo Silver Summit are a natural fit for Language of Stone, a baroque psych-folk label run by Espers' Greg Weeks. Sondra Ow Sun-Odeon's trembling voice calls to mind Karen Dalton and Grace Slick, though it's the duo's hazy arrangements for mandolin, bell chimes, hand drums, and droning electric guitars that make Silver Summit a must for fans of Fairport Convention and the second side of Led Zeppelin III.Doors open at: 8 pmTickets: 6 adv / 8 day of showThis event is: This Show is 21+ with IDBuy tickets online with > Countdown widget
