Ray Ciprian Quartet and Alana Mars

Ray Ciprian and his quartet will be performing songs from Pharaoh Sanders discography for Ray’s first ever production. Ray Ciprian is an upcoming saxophonist learning from the school of life in music, learning from local jazz jams and fellow local musicians. In his musical journey he has felt a deep connection with Pharaoh Sanders’ spiritual way of free playing while also playing jazz standards. For this show Ray and his quartet will be channeling that same type of free playing energy that inspired him.

Alana Mars is a queer alternative pop musician based out of Denver, CO. With her holy trinity as guidance (Lana del Rey, Phoebe Bridgers and Stevie Nicks) Alana’s conversational lyric style feels like you are reading directly out of her diary (and in some cases you are) while her complimentary guitar playing helps to paint the picture and bring it all to life. Along with multiple national tours and numerous music festivals under her belt, Mars released her debut EP “The Prologue” in May 2024 which is available on all streaming platforms.
