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 are below.
