Experimental guitarist Eugene Chadbourne has an eye-popping resume that spans several decades and includes stints working in tandem with avant-garde giants like John Zorn, Elliott Sharp and Henry Kaiser. He’s also no stranger to the world of popular music, having collaborated with Camper Van Beethoven and covered Nick Drake. In the 1980s, “Doc” Chadbourne gained notoriety in the New York City noise scene for fronting Shockabilly, which imparted a free-form sensibility to various country and rockabilly classics. Downtown record shop Low Yo Yo Stuff brings the tireless, ageless composer to Athens on Saturday for an early-evening solo gig.
