Legendary filmmaker David Lynch is back in the spotlight after the Showtime premiere of his “Twin Peaks” sequel.
And Lynch isn’t just a great visual artist, according to Atlanta musician Jeffrey Butzer.
“His films are very musical,” said Butzer, who calls himself a “massive” Lynch fan.
That inspired Butzer to create his own tribute to the filmmaker, “Club Silencio: Music from the Films of David Lynch.”
Butzer, along with fellow Atlanta musician and sometimes collaborator T.T. Mahony, will present Club Silencio at Saturn in Avondale on July 8 at 9 p.m.
Butzer, who plays numerous instruments, including guitar, admits he created the show like a fan. “I’m putting on the show I want to see,” he said.
Butzer and three members of his band, The Bicycle Eaters, will appear with Mahony on piano and keyboards, Ben Davis on saxophone and Renee Nelson, a classically trained singer who has also worked with Florence and the Machine and The Swans, on vocals.
Attendees will hear such tunes as “In Dreams” and “Crying,” by Roy Orbison; “Wicked Game,” by Chris Isaak; and the “Twin Peaks” theme, “Falling.”
“We’re definitely hitting the high points,” Mahony said. “These are classic songs.”
Tickets are $12. For more information, go to saturnbirmingham.com.
