DARSOMBRA Presents: Transmission – A Celebration For Ann Everton is a two-day festival event set to take place at Baltimore’s Ottobar in just one week, February 28th and March 1st. The gathering was established to honor the life and art of DARSOMBRA’s Ann Everton, who tragically passed away in a vehicle accident in early October when the band was beginning their latest tour.
Ann Everton left an indelible impression on everyone who met her. Everton’s husband and founding DARSOMBRA member Brian Daniloski worked directly with the staff at the Ottobar and several artists to organize this special event, which sees almost thirty acts – all of whom are friends of DARSOMBRA – uniting to perform on both stages of the club over two full days in Everton’s memory.
Preceded by a gathering for family and friends, DARSOMBRA Presents: Transmission – A Celebration For Ann Everton will feature two full days of performances on both the upstairs and downstairs stages at the Ottobar. A large contingent of the acts are friends located across the Baltimore area, with some of the highlights including Acoustic War On Women, Curse, Consumer Culture, Moth Broth, 50’ ♀ & The Worms, Quattracenta, Holy Fingers, Celebration, Cultic, Ala Muerte, Gridfailure, Stinking Lizaveta, and more
DARSOMBRA’s Brian Daniloski will return to the stage for the first time since the accident to perform as part of the Ala Muerte and Gridfailure sets.
The set times for both days have been posted below.
Additionally, local magazine BmoreArt ran an incredible piece on Everton, highlighting her life and involvement in the local arts scene, and spotlighting the festival. Read the story HERE.
While the exact future of DARSOMBRA remains uncertain, the band has a sizable surplus of unreleased material. A new album will be released for the first time at the festival and will be made available to the public directly afterward. Watch for further developments to be announced.
