Colin Stetson

by

Experimental saxophonist Colin Stetson is arguably indie-rock’s most in-demand woodwind specialist, having performed with Arcade Fire, Feist, and the National in addition to earning critical acclaim for the series of solo albums, the most recent of which was 2013’s New History Warfare Vol 3: To See More Light. It’s as a performer, though, that Stetson’s formidable technique really shines. Forsaking loop pedals in favor of circular breathing and percussive playing, his physicality makes for an intimate viewing experience that rivals any of his better-known indie peers emotional range.
