Purple kniF will perform at Dogwood, 47 E. Main St. in Beacon, Thursday, June 20, with sets at 8 and 10 p.m.

Purple kniF formed in New York City 20 years ago, sharing a common Ohio background, and have kept their surf-leaning, all-instrumental guitar band together through relocations, parenthood, other bands, vocations, changes in marital status, etc. Their motto is, “We don’t need no stinkin’ vocal mic!”

Ted Lawrence and John Teagle share guitar duties while Baker Rorick and Chris Butler handle the bass and drums.
