show highlights.
As many of you know, TONIGHT, Friday March 18th, is a big night at the Rickshaw Stop. Brass Menazeri, Michael Musika, and Toshio Hirano are playing songs, but there's a lot more to it. This show is incredibly special. Michael Musika's album and novella Spells are finally in the physical world, and they are true masterpieces - genius, magical, and mysterious. This seance will be a gathering of spirits near and far to celebrate the release of this important inspiring work into the world.
Brass Menazeri
"...San Francisco's Powerhouse Balkan Brass Band..."

Michael Musika
"...crazy like a fox, convicted like a criminal, determined like the sun..."
Musika's band for the evening will include some of the same luminaries that initially saw a spark in him many years ago. Ara Anderson will play trumpet and Dave Mihaly will play piano. Also performing in the band will be Eric Kuhn (Silian Rail), Matt Adams (Blank Tapes), Indianna Hale, Sleepy Todd, Kacey Johansing, Emily Ritz (Honeycomb), Patrick Byers (Albino), Jeff Giaquinto (BLO), Mike Perlmutter (Zoyres), and Jesse Olsen. (Ramon and Jessica). Appropriately, this event is being billed as a seance. The content to be celebrated is a meditation on the true place where magic exists within this world, as revealed by an emmissary from another. (Read the full intriguing story below.)
