Baba Stiltz

Over the past few years Baba Stiltz has dedicated himself to the guitar and the live practice of performance. Utilizing a no-nonsense approach, he has distilled his sets to their bare necessities: guitar, amplifier, and voice. Informed by the free-improvisational stylings of Eugene Chadbourne, the evocative repetitions of Spacemen 3, and the lyrical, half-spoken conviction of country, Stiltz’s work feels disarmingly upfront. @In an age dominated by vibes and aesthetics, Stiltz’s advocacy for direct transmission feels both refreshing and faintly confrontational. Country music perhaps.
