Natural Harbors
Layers of homemade beats and innovative arrangements over buoyant melodies. Like a sheet of translucent vellum or a scrim, these layers create a washed-out texture that enhances each tune rather than obscuring it. Recalling the pop music of the ’50s and ’60s he used to listen to on his dad’s record player as a kid —the Motown and Stax Records catalogs, The Beach Boys, Harry Nilsson, The Kinks—he wanted to re-imagine these sounds by adding elements of the eclectic music he has gotten into since, stuff like Brazilian pop, shoegaze, Tropicália, Italo house and Balearic beat.

Porchlight Open Door
Porchlight Open Door is a small stage open mic event launched by Porchlight in September 2009. Storytellers add their names to a sign-up sheet and then have five minutes to spiel on the monthly theme. Come early, and sign up to tell a 5-minute story on the month's theme. The evening's top
storyteller, as chosen by a random audience member, receives $50 in cold,
hard, United States greenbacks. Spend it at the bar, or on a bag of the
Hemlock's award-winning hot nuts.

Storytelling has never been this potentially lucrative or fun!!!
