Kelli Schaefer

Endless gratitude to everyone who came out Thursday night to my record release show at Polaris Hall. My heart is full! The album is out and streaming on all platforms — visit Bandcamp to order a copy of the vinyl. A very special thanks to @and.or_you @saroonthenow and @joey_bingletron for the endless hours spent in practice spaces, carefully crafting every tiny detail of these songs. It was a long labor of love, and I feel that love when I listen to these songs. Thank you to @maxxxkatz @lisaclarinet #NicoleBuetti for lending your talents to this project, what an absolute gift it has been to work with you all. And a special thanks to @liminal_animal_ for joining us for the release show. Thank you to @theholdingproject dancers for your exquisite performance at the show, and for being such a force of nature. Thank you @amyleonahavin of the @theholdingproject for helping me add texture to so many aspects of bringing this album to life. Thank you to @halfbirdpdx for opening the release show, and blowing everyone’s minds with your beautiful chaos. Thanks to @kikikell for your generosity and support in helping get this thing across the finish line! And most of all, as always, thank you all for listening. See you soon🤍

Really missing my buddy today:( here’s a video of watching him watch a humming bird.

I don’t know what to say. We lost our best friend on Saturday and I can’t stop crying. I am so proud of how this anxious little guy chose to trust us all the way to the very end. We were so lucky to have him and I’m absolutely gutted that his life was cut short. He really was the sweetest boy. I loved every part of him and I can’t believe he’s gone. Rest in peace Ludwig, I miss you so much.

Excited to bring the whole band out for this one at @dreamhousepdx with @faustinamasigat **All proceeds will go towards the support of two Hillsboro families impacted by ICE, and a community food fund** 2/18 8pm sharp :) $20 suggested donation but NOTAFLOF **please wear a mask in the upstairs area**

Very excited to announce the album release show for @sama_dams on January 17th at @dekumstreettheater with opening duo set by @kelli_schaefer 🖤 this show has been in the works for some time and we are so glad to finally share it with you! This theater is one of kind in town, with around 100 seats, an incredible sound system, and lots of room for artists to curate their own unique installations. With tickets being limited, we highly encourage you to buy them asap, as all the shows sell out and there are typically no day of. This show will be LIVE RECORDED, and an intimate experience that will surely satisfy.
