Bands of America Summer Camp Concert Series: Fred Armisen 8pm @ Emens Auditorium, Ball State University 1800 W Riverside Ave
Comedian, musician, writer, and producer Fred Armisen’s show is a mix of musings and musical vignettes, marked by his understated and cerebral comedic sensibilities. While the show is rooted in comedy, musicians will understand and appreciate the humor. Armisen presents a fun mix of musical observations and demonstrations (Fred performs a variety of instruments including Latin percussion, drum set, guitar, bass guitar). He is the ultimate Music Appreciation instructor!
An 11-season veteran of Saturday Night Live, Fred has engaged audiences with memorable impressions and characters. He is the co-writer and co-star of IFC’s Emmy-nominated series Portlandia and can be seen in the hit Netflix series Wednesday as Uncle Fester. He stars as “Tico” in HBO’s Los Espookys, which he co-wrote and executive produced. He can also be heard in the hit animated Super Mario Bros movie. Armisen stars in, writes, and produces IFC’s hit show Documentary Now, for which he has received two Emmy nominations, and can be seen and/or heard in many other films and shows as both a comedian and musician.
