“VISITOR” | Premiere Performance by Jeax Couvade, 2019

VISITOR is a 9-piece ensemble led by John Willems and comprised of some of the best musicians in Detroit. In his words, VISITOR is an exploration of love, terror, humor, and hope in songs and poems. The Baity Films crew handled the task of capturing this exciting performance and, on short notice, were able to come together to document the piece and VISITOR’s first outing, in a workshop setting, wherein they perform poems and songs with jazz and rock/pop origins for their premiere performance.
