I'll be playing music in the key of green at  MÁNÁS  gallery in Chico this Friday night as part of the open entry exhibition.  Despite the augmented color spectrum, expect to hear a full auditory spectrum of sounds and music, plus other folks will be likely singing, reciting poetry, and raising a ruckus. Come on out! Details: " This will usher in the 4th main Color of our beloved spiraling spectrum here on planet earth. Celebrate GREEN with us.

I love supporting the artists I play by purchasing music, directly from the artist if possible, and one of the ways I discover new artists is to check out who's giving stuff away. Love this new music industry model: the more you give away, the more you sell.
