Communion Bloomington opens Tuesday

Communion Bloomington will open at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Bishop Bar.

The show is open to everyone ages 18 and older.

Tickets are $9.50 in advance and $15 for two.

Communion is an independent platform for new young artists that started in summer 2006.

Ben Lovett of Mumford and Sons, Kenn Jones of Bear’s Den and producer Ian Grimble started the event to help young artists in London.

The event has since expanded to include venues all around the UK, United States and Australia.

This month’s set features Jessica Lea Mayfield, crash, Jad Fair and Danielson, and Wet Blankets.

Mayfield is a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Kent, Ohio.

The bluegrass singer grew up touring with her family band, One Way Rider, as a child.

She started touring with them at the age of 8.

She recorded her first album, “White Lies,” at the age of 15 in her brother’s bedroom. She produced only 100 copies.

One of those copies reached Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, who helped Mayfield produce her next album.

Another act of the night, crash, is the percussionist from the band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Crash blends americana, folk and soul music with traditional sounds of New Orleans music.

Jad Fair and Danielson are American singer-song writers. The alternative rock performers have also been involved with the band Half Japanese.

Wet Blankets is a four-member alternative rock band led by 15-year-old Zane Gardner.
