 The Need is a new monthly series at the Firehouse Space led by saxophonist, guitarist and composer Briggan Krauss. Designed as an exploratorium for improvisors to probe ideas, Krauss will work with the raw conceptual energy of a rotating cast of his colleagues at the top of the creative music scene.  September 25th’s concert will feature Briggan Krauss:  Alto saxophone and Electric Guitar, Brandon Seabrook: Electric Guitar, Kato Hideki: Analog Synthesizer,  and Devin Grey: Drums and Percussion.
