JEFFREY ALEXANDER has been frittering around the edges of the psychedelic underground for decades, evolving his own musical space that overlays dusty folk, cosmic jazz, deep psych, free improv, and even (gasp!) indie rock. He’s been called a “psych rock lifer” (UNCUT), crafting “digressive jams that meander through free-form jazz, bluesy kosmische” (PROG) and “extremely highgrade psych” (MOJO). Convened in 2019 on Alexander’s relocation back to his native east coast, Philadelphia’s Heavy Lidders are the latest hard-touring expression for the guitarist’s music, joining a vast and tangled discography (and tape list) that includes the beloved long-running west coast Dire Wolves Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band and, before them, the Iditarod and Black Forest/Black Sea, as well as a bushel of solo play-all-the-instruments projects, a stint with Jackie-O Motherfucker, sessions with Kemialliset Ystävät and Avarus and others.

CHRISTINA CARTER was born in the bayou city of Houston, Texas in November of 1968, and co-founded the group Charalambides there in December of 1991. Ever since she has deeply mined her own vein of sound-as-music with voice, guitar, harmonica, and piano. For the past several years, Christina has utilized extended improvisational guitar passages within and without song structures and investigated ‘the song’ as a thing unto itself, specifically concentrating on ‘the word’- both in her own lyric writing and her interpretations of the work of other lyricists. In addition to performing extensively in the US, UK and Europe as a solo artist, Christina has played and recorded in various groups and duos with Jeffrey Alexander, Maria Chavez, Loren Connors, Spencer Dobbs, Sandy Ewen, Julia Hungerford, Alistair Lingren, and Joe McPhee, amongst others.
