“Mike Birbiglia's second feature tells a story that will be familiar to anyone who has tried to make a success of their art, deftly portraying the tensions between personal ego and group dynamics that are involved in creative collaborations, and asking what it means to be successful. With an outstanding ensemble cast featuring Birbiglia, Keegan-Michael Key, Kate Micucci, Chris Gethard, and a particularly terrific performance from Gillian Jacobs.”

“Insight Ensemble returns to the historic tunnels of Loco Klub for another intriguing, dramatic performance featuring Beethoven, Dvorak and Mussorgsky: music hundreds of years old that still reverberates with magic.”

“In 2013, Monolord first emerged from Gothenburg, Sweden behind an impenetrable wall of distortion and spell-binding vocals. The outside world took notice in a big way as the trio of Thomas V Jäger [vocals, guitars], Esben Willems [drums], and Mika Häkki [bass] garnered a flurry critical acclaim for their RidingEasy Records debut, Empress Rising, a year later.”

“A brace of banjos don’t have to duel, you know, and when they fit together as nicely as these do, with the bonus of unvarnished vocal harmonies and honest poetic lyrics, it’s a thing of joy. Coming all the way from Olympia, Washington Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee (aka Fern Girl and Ice Man) bring the freshest of mountain air with the merest hint of spring a-coming.”

“Best known as the virtuoso guitar and fiddle players from the band Sheelanagig, they draw on their many influences to created unique arrangements of traditional music, as well as their own compositions. The live show is a musical journey through Europe, America and beyond; combining dazzling playing with a fine sense of musicality and showmanship.”
