Introducing Catie Alison as our absolute angelic opening set at @smithsalternative on Saturday May 16th. Catie will be stepping out from behind her cello and sharing her ethereal, deeply moving voice and songs to set the evening in motion. We are so looking forward to starting the sonic journey here. 7pm start UPSTAIRS… followed by an exquisite collaboration between @music_by_emilyrose @parvynmusic and @_ofrimusic with crossover folk-classical string trio. This is something you simply cannot miss.
