20HERTZ: Jana Hunter

The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present a lecture by Jana Hunter, musician and singer of Lower Dens, in conjunction with CAMH’s music-based lecture series 20HERTZ.

Hunter began her career as a musician in Arlington, TX, before moving to Houston where she refined her solo music career and collaborative project Matty & Mossy.

Later, Hunter continued to develop her music in Baltimore, MD where she formed the critically acclaimed band Lower Dens.

Her work with Lower Dens has been lauded by press, including Pitchfork Magazine, Vogue, and Spin Magazine. “Hunter is a charismatic singer willing to deal in grand, sweeping gestures and also idiosyncratic specifics. Escape From Evil is a vivid world of queer retrofuturism, a wide open space that offers access to the emotionality of the recent past without subscribing to its violence. Hunter embraces retro-pop as a channel of escape from the power that routes us in our mundane outer lives.” (Pitchfork Magazine).

Hunter is recognized by the global music community as an innovator and influential voice, inspiring artists and musicians with her unique experiments in writing, performing, and artistic presentation.

Lower Dens will perform at the Museum the following evening, Friday, August 7. To RSVP, visit Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lower-dens-at-camh-tickets-17210820026
