Haley Heynderickx loves playing small towns in NE! I just saw her in Western, MA, and she's already coming back to the area in June. Amazing for a Pacific Nor'westerner
Dang … Tree House Brewery in Western MA killing it after expanding from 1.5k to 5k for attendance at their summer stage. Next show announced is Andrew Bird with Amadou & Mariam! Yes
Holy moly, just got a shipping notice from Zia about an order I placed in August, 2021 for the Lost in Translation soundtrack. Bit of a multi-year delay, I totally forgot about it, but good on them for fulfilling!
Congrats to anyone who scored tix to Beach House tonight at Johnny Brenda's in Philly (250 person capacity). Tix sold out in like 2 seconds. Didn't score any myself. I need a friend who is a bot.
