Outside the Spotlight

Outside The Spotlight is a series of jazz and improvised music events in Lexington, KY. We give a home to artists making music that doesn't fit with commercial sensibilities and build an environment where artists and audience can interact more directly.

We want to expand the the availability of this music to anyone who is interested. Performances are at smaller venues and are generally donation / pay-what-you-want.

OTS 236 - microplastique w/ Pointless Triangle

June 13, 2025
7pm, All Ages, Free (Donations appreciated)
Lexington Art League at the Loudoun House

Performing the compositions of band leader Adam Shead, microplastique creates music that is both absurd in its aesthetic and serious in its execution. The group utilizes a vast array of percussion and toy instruments in performing, reforming, and morphing Shead's original compositions using vastly different approaches from one show to another. The interplay between group members emphasizes listening, acting, and reacting.microplastique is Ben Zucker, Molly Jones, Josh Harlow, and Adam Shead.
Check out microplastique's album "blare blow bloom!" on BandcampPointless Triangle is the brainchild of photographer, videographer, visual artist, and musician Brian Connors Manke. How do you draw a pointless triangle? Perhaps attempting to is the point itself.
