The album release concert by The Any Everything feat. Michelle Manzo Cobb at Cikan House last Saturday was absolutely beautiful! I put some info together for people who are interested buying the album. You can find the info after this week’s jazz happening. BTW, if you want to support artists you like, an online music store Bandcamp is waiving its revenue share on all sales this Friday, March 4th from midnight to midnight Pacific Time. Bandcamp is a great platform for artists because most of the money you pay to artists actually go to them! And for The Bridger Mountain Big Band fans, the band will be back to The Eagles this Sunday! Yay!
As I wrote last week, recently I had my photos printed on wood panels and I really like how they look. If you are interested, please take a look on Photo Print on Wood page!
