Tigue

One half new music ensemble, one half art-rock band, TIGUE unites homegrown ethos and conservatory precision. Praised for their energetic and focused performances, the Ohio-born, Brooklyn-based percussionists (Matt Evans, Amy Garapic, and Carson Moody) have worked together extensively on original and composed music for nearly half a decade. As active collaborators, TIGUE has commissioned pieces from Robert Honstein and Adrian Knight and worked closely with Oneida / Man Forever drummer Kid Millions as well as visual artist and sculptor Michael Mercil. Formed in 2012 following concurrent studies at the Eastman School of Music and the The Ohio State University, TIGUE crystallized out of, and in spite of, the eclectic contemporary, pop, and avant-garde influences inherent in their DNA.
