Some pretty awesome shows coming up in the Seattle area.
Sadly I will have to miss Hell's Bellows (gonna be in LA...) - a four
piece accordion band - if you love accordion this is the most awesome
quartet ever, if you hate accordion this is an absolute nightmare.
Of course I'm partial to Ivory in Ice World...
Ken Jacobson's instruments are often beautifully crafted and often
sound just as beautiful, or they are crudely crafted and delightfully
uncontrollable.
And Scott's music is pretty.
