@710ersomaha presents: Warriors of Radness Vs.
Babylon System is a group exhibition of work by local, regional, and international artists-all created on 7.5 x 7.5 inch sheets of blotter paper. Tiny squares, big ideas. Expect a visual delight and a healthy respect for the grid as both structure and launchpad.
710ERS OMAHA invited a group of artists to produce work on blotter paper, subtly dismantling and nodding to the white cube itself. Some artists are contributing from as far away as Japan and California, though most are local and regional. He enlisted help from Washington-based DIY home vinyl lathe wizard “Vinyl Daddy” (aka-Mike) to create a 7-inch, turntable-playable polycarbonate record featuring a live recording of “Alice D. Millionaire” by the Grateful Dead-a song performed only twice and never officially pressed. The world’s first playable sheet of acid. Hear what you see, see what you hear. The track is a tribute to Owsley Stanley (“The Bear”), once dubbed by the media as the “Acid King.” 710ERS paired the record with a photo collage of vintage newspaper clippings about Stanley, printed on blotter paper. The result: a true DIY picture disc that fully embodies the spirit of the day.
Each one is packaged in classic acid-tab fashion-foil-wrapped and sealed in a ziplock, in lieu of a traditional record sleeve. Five different image variations will be available. Collect them all!
So psyched to have heavy hitters Stein/Smith/Shead coming to Project Project on May 22nd!
Jason Stein — Damon Smith — Adam Shead (often billed as Stein/Smith/Shead) is a Chicago-rooted improvising trio uniting bass clarinetist Jason Stein, double bassist Damon Smith, and percussionist Adam Shead. Since forming in late 2021, the group has toured extensively across the Midwest and beyond, becoming a fixture in the creative music circuit and collaborating with influential figures such as Roscoe Mitchell. Their recorded work documents a remarkably productive period, encompassing four releases: Volumes & Surfaces (2022), Hum (2023), spi-raling horn with Marilyn Crispell (2024), and Live at the Hungry Brain with Marilyn Crispell (2025). Together, these albums trace the group’s evolution from kinetic, small-ensemble interplay toward expansive collaborations that bridge generations of avant-jazz practice.
Critics have consistently praised the trio’s fearless energy and deep listening. All About Jazz described Volumes & Surfaces as “undiluted free jazz with energy as its calling card and attention as its driver,” while The Free Jazz Collective called their collaboration with Marilyn Crispell “stunning” and “full of muscular interplay.” Known for their balance of precision and volatility, Stein/Smith/Shead channel the improvisational lineage of Chicago’s creative music scene into a sound that is at once restless, focused, and alive to the moment.
Also performing: Smith & Jessen with Damon Smith (Smith & Smith & Jessen?!) and perennial favorite Lillian Kay. I cannot adequately convey in words my excitement for this gig — do not miss this one. #omahamusic #freeimprovisation
