St. Anthony Mann

Dean Sibinski creates contemplative songs, electronic poetry, and rhythmic ambience. Smithing transcendent and simple lyrics, the Minneapolis sound designer writes wordless stories informed by contemporary mysticism and his experimentation with synthesizers. Dean is a lover of music in reverence for the universe, which manifests in ambient works like Trinity Concerts, a lyric-less mixtape of Dean's songwriting journey with the divine. This also shows in Dimension, a series of records surrounding sabbath and jihad. For fans of: Jack Garratt, Kye Kye and Tennyson. deansibinski.bandzoogle.com Seen from a corner seat, late at night, you know, at a grimy pub, Mann appears like a mirage cousin to a terrific midwestern bar band. On stage, St. Anthony Mann takes the shape of a huddled 2-piece. The musicians attend to the strings in their hands and pedals at their feet. As a group, their sound is expansive—the effort to keep the musical expanse midair looks more meditative than theatrical. Adam is ballcapped and seen singing in profile. The rhythm section sets the table, friendly and relaxed, while the guitarists loop, condense, expand, and contort their down-tuned, bell-clear guitar tones. The songs often end with a hazy distortion followed by a modest “thanks” directed toward the crowd. stanthonymann.com Music 8pm - 10pm $10 cover added to your tab
