As far as more traditionally Lowdown events go, CenterArts’ season rolls on with an organist. But this is not just any organist? Cameron Carpenter is like the James Brown of the organ universe (maybe Criss Angel — we could’ve gone several ways, here). He’s flamboyant. He’s a showman. He wears sparkly clothing! And sure, he’s also really good at his instrument.
But fingers, shmingers. LoCO was more impressed by our man's other appendages. Check out Carpenter’s fancy footwork in the YouTube clip below. Those feet will be at the Van Duzer Theatre Thursday night. Other out and about options in your Lowdown listings below. —Andrew Goff
