STS9 at The Quarry Amphitheater
August 4 - 5, 2023
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
With an ethos rooted in exploration, STS9 has been a sonic pioneer for two decades. Using electronic and acoustic means, the instrumental five-piece—comprised of Hunter Brown (guitar/keys), Jeffree Lerner (percussion), David Phipps (keyboards), Zach Velmer (drums), and Alana Rocklin (bass)—channels the primordial and celestial, producing a cutting-edge sound that has forged a path for multiple generations of electronic dance music. STS9’s innate sense of innovation is grounded by the group’s desire to forge universal connections. Seamlessly integrating their exploratory and improvisation-based music with a fully immersive light show, each performance is a transcendent celebration of humanity.

Having released twelve albums while performing in Santa Cruz dozens of times in the last twenty years including a visit to the UCSC Quarry last year, these summer concerts will mark a special homecoming show for the band that has called NorCal home for decades. STS9 will take over UCSC’s Quarry Amphitheater, an 1800s rock quarry-turned-outdoor amphitheater and concert venue, for two nights this summer.
