Eerie, deep, and enchanting, the cello has had some difficulty finding the way onto the contemporary music scene. Thankfully, open-minded lovers of this classic chamber instrument can rely on the dedication and musical expertise of self-proclaimed “cello-rock” ensemble Rasputina. Founded in the early 1990s by classically trained cellist Melora Creager —who has toured with the likes of Nirvana and Marilyn Manson —Rasputina has run through a diverse and talented lineup of musicians throughout the years. Currently touring as a duet, Creager and percussionist Jonathon TeBeest bring Rasputina’s brilliant brand of classical yet contemporary (and somewhat chaotic) music —complete with colorful vintage costume —to Nietszche’s this Saturday (July 15) at 8pm. Performances by Michele Weber and Liz Abbott will follow.
