Stephan Crump at ALL

Join us for an evening with acclaimed bassist Stephan Crump on Friday, February 25 at 7pm.

Throughout the last year, he released monthly solo recordings in a fan-supported series via his Bandcamp page. This body of work is featured in the upcoming solo album, Rocket Love.

$20 general admission, $18 ALL members, $10 students. Tickets can be purchased online until 2 hours before the performance or at the door beginning at 6:30pm. Advance purchase recommended as capacity will be limited. Proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test taken with 72 hours of the event and face mask required. Please check the ALL website for the most up to date safety guidelines.
