Here's Khruangbin. It was a bitch to sort out, but as always, I learned a lot about their music, which was beautiful. At first I was daunted by how much some songs sounded alike, not in the end. They have these great spacey intro jams and nice transitions of synthy space between some of them.
If you like, put your headphones on take a deep breath of whatever you like to breathe and draw in.

Natalie Brooke, at the Westcott Theater last Sunday night. Only complaint is they didn’t get a long enough set!

It was great working with Classical pianist Allen Miller and recording his concert at the Everson Museum of Art! Allen put together an hour of pieces from the Romantic period for Valentines Day, including songs by Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Mozart, Liszt and more, with fascinating intros about the composers and what inspired the compositions.

Thursday evening, Feb. 15, at 6 PM the Everson Museum of Art will be hosting a piano concert featuring the Kawai piano we recently gifted to the museum's newly renovated performance hall.

The piano has already seen great use and we are so pleased to see the impact it is having on the arts in our community.

Please read the announcement with the background and try to make it on Thursday.

Pianist, Allan Miller, will entertain and inform you with introductions on each of his very enjoyable classical selections.
Please attend, and share this post to help spread the word and fill the concert hall!
