Ken Filiano - bass
Born and raised in East New York, Brooklyn, vocal artist, performer, composer, storyteller and interdisciplinary artist Shelley Hirsch has been pushing boundaries with her unique vocal art and performance work, drawing on her life experiences, her memory, her vivid imagination for decades. Ken Filiano is a bassist, composer, improviser, and teacher who performs around the world, fusing the rich traditions of the double bass with his own seemingly limitless imagination. Hans Tammen is just another worker in rhythms, frequencies and intensities. Using textures, timbre and dynamics as primary elements, his music is continuously shifting, with different layers floating into the foreground while others disappear.
The trio at Big Ears Festival 2025: Shelley Hirsch took audiences at The Standard on an unforgettable sonic adventure with her fearless imagination and vivid storytelling. From solo to wild improvisations with collaborators Hans Tammen and the Ken Filiano Trio, she held nothing back-just as it should be. (Joeleen Hubbard)
