To clarify regarding Saturday evening at Art’s 5th Ave…two bands are performing. Triangulum is a great band from Dallas featuring Sean French, Chad Walls, MC McPhail, and TJ Prendergast. I wrote a song with them for their upcoming album called “Kill the Moon” which we will be playing during their set this Saturday. My band is Eddie Dunlap on drums, Claire Hecko on bass and viola…and I’ll be playing guitar, piano, and singing.
Sorry about that. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
