*Cloacas, Grannia Griffith,  and Evarusnik performance on Meow Wolf's "Due
Return:*

*Saturday, June 25 at 6pm*

*Center For Contemporary Arts*
1050 Old Pecos Trail, Santa Fe

Come see the wonder that is Cloacas, and pick yourself up the new work of
art that is their new album,”The Oatmeal Commission.”

Also performing is the fantabulous Grannia Griffith and Evarusnik.

 Listening to Cloacas is like travelling sideways in time. This (mostly)
instrumental Santa Fe band invokes elements of classic Americana and
classical, as well as whatever their acoustical instruments inspire. With
song titles like “Venetian Blind Man”, “Hot Hamburger Pizza” and “Knuckle
Butter”, they present a humorous but sincere irony that is at times
bitter-sweet and melancholic, and at others gangly-legged and goofy. They
have been described as a tiny mountain orchestra in a wooden box with rusty
hinges.


 Cloacas are:

Johnny “Johnny Bell” Bell: banjo and ukelele

Sabrina Griffith: violin, viola, vocals and kazoo

Damon Griffith: mandolin, fret-less Mandolin, vocals, sit-box and Horn of
Enough

Michael “Smitty” Smith: percussion, vocals, saw and xylophone

Grannia Griffith: vocals and saw
