Maize & Blue Velvet: David Lynch Foundation Benefit Concert Serenades Ann Arbor

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Sept. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- On the evening of October 7 a pioneering cast of midwestern musicians will come together for a performance benefiting the David Lynch Foundation and the Ann Arbor Film Festival. The lineup consists of Wolf Eyes, Windy & Carl, Aaron Dilloway and DJ stylings by Dykehouse, of the Ghostly International record label. The concert will take place at Club Above, upstairs from the Heidelberg Restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor.

David Lynch is an Oscar-nominated and Cannes Award winning director, screenwriter, and visual artist. He is known for the soon-to-be-rebooted TV series Twin Peaks and numerous cult classic films including Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive. Lynch established the David Lynch Foundation, a non-profit organization, to fund the implementation of the evidence-based stress-reducing method of Transcendental Meditation for at-risk populations, including U.S. veterans and African war refugees with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), inner city students, incarcerated men, and women and children who are survivors of violence and abuse.

Also a beneficiary of the concert, the Ann Arbor Film Festival is the longest standing experimental film festival in the country and serves as an Academy Award®-qualifying festival in the United States for the Short Films category.

Wolf Eyes originally formed in Ann Arbor and Detroit in 1995 and have released records on the Sub Pop label (Nirvana, Beach House, etc), Wolf Eyes is now on Jack White's (The White Stripes) Third Man label. Wolf Eyes are generally credited as godfathers of the "noise" genre of experimental music.

Cited as "a leading light of the Michigan space-rock scene" by Allmusic, Windy & Carl formed in 1993 around the core duo of guitarist Carl Hultgren and bassist/singer Windy Weber. They create music with a wide range of atmospheres, from a warm fuzzy blanket, to a deep ocean, and to the open spaces of a frozen antarctic.

Aaron Dilloway is experimental musician and composer originally from Brighton, Michigan who works with the manipulation of 8-track tape loops in combination with voice, tape delays and various organic and electronic sound sources. A founding member of the industrial noise group Wolf Eyes, Dilloway now resides in Oberlin, Ohio where he runs Hanson Records and Mailorder.

All ticket proceeds from the concert will go toward the Chicago branch of the David Lynch Foundation and the Ann Arbor Film Festival.

David Lynch's own Festival of Disruption benefitting the foundation takes place on October 8 and 9 in Los Angeles.
