Miami New Times' "11 BEST THINGS TO DO IN MIAMI THIS WEEK"

Read Rebekah Lengel's "Don't Even Try to Pin Marc Ribot's Music Down"

Ex-Tom Waits, ex-Lounge Lizards, frequent collaborator with John Zorn, and just plain excellent guitarist, Marc Ribot's music ranges from rock with his band Ceramic Dog, and jazz to Cuban son with his band Los Cubanos Postizos.

Marc has released over 20 albums under his own name over a 30-year career, exploring everything from the pioneering jazz of Albert Ayler to the Cuban son of Arsenio Rodríguez. His 2010 solo release Silent Movies has been described as a "down-in-mouth-near masterpiece" by the Village Voice and has landed on several Best of 2010 lists including the LA Times and critical praise across the board. 2013 saw the release of Your Turn, the sophomore effort from Ribot’s post-rock/noise trio Ceramic Dog, and 2014 saw the monumental release: Marc Ribot Trio Live at the Village Vanguard, documenting Marc's first headline and the return of Henry Grimes at the historical venue in 2012 already included on Best of 2014 lists including Downbeat Magazine and NPR's 50 Favorites.

Rolling Stone points out that "Guitarist Marc Ribot helped Tom Waits refine a new, weird Americana on 1985's Rain Dogs, and since then he's become the go-to guitar guy for all kinds of roots-music adventurers: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp.” Additional recording credits include Neko Case, Diana Krall, Elton John/Leon Russell’s The Union, Solomon Burke, John Lurie’s Lounge Lizards, Marianne Faithful, Joe Henry, Allen Toussaint, Medeski Martin & Wood, Caetano Veloso, Susana Baca, Allen Ginsburg, Madeline Peyroux, Nora Jones, Jolie Holland, Akiko Yano, The Black Keys, and many others. Marc works regularly with Grammy award winning producer T Bone Burnett and NY composer John Zorn. He has also composed and performed on numerous film scores such as "Walk The Line” (Mangold), "The Kids Are All Right," and "The Departed" (Scorcese).

"... majestic, mysterious, rooted to the moment but also tapping into a deeper current... a rough astonishment, restles and altogether riveting." – The New York Times

"... he can sit down with just his guitar and simultaneously confound you with technique, beauty, and surprise."
  – John Garratt and Will Layman, PopMatters Picks: The Best Music of 2010 for the album Silent Movies
