Get Out Thursday: Josh Roman Does Radiohead, Among Other Things

Joshua Roman, for those of you more concerned with what's going on at Neumo's than what's happening in Benaroya Hall, is the star cellist in Seattle Symphony. He's also 23, has hair like a young Bob Dylan, and seriously kicks ass.

This Thursday, he'll be joined at Town Hall by three other instrumentalists of his choosing for what's sure to be the best thing happening in classical music this week, if not the best thing in all of Seattle music. For the first half, they'll be performing stellar, envelope-pushing classical pieces. For the second half, they'll play adaptations of a medley of selections by Radiohead.

At Neumos, Gabriel Teodros & Khingz. At Chop Suey, someone called Pretty Titty Fourcolorzack. At Tractor, Eddie Spaghetti. Yeah, Josh Roman's Quartet will be the best thing happening this Thursday.
