torley manor

Emma and I decided to throw another big picnic and house show this year. Its going to be on July 5th. We decided to invite a bunch of people to each play a few songs, but not just any songs in any old way. No no, this is going to be the Torley Manor (Angry Gorilla) Blues+Folk Fest.

The idea was to create some constraints to put everyone on something of a similar playing field. So everyone is being asked to play their version of the blues and/or folk music performed either acoustically or through a Gorilla practice amp. So it’ll be a day of stripped down blues+folk.

Some of the details of the day are still in the making, but veggie/vegan potluck/bbq begins at 1:00 and music will begin at 2:00. There will probably be several blocks of music throughout the afternoon. A detailed schedule of who is playing when should hopefully be posted a couple weeks before the actual event.

Emma and I will be performing together for the first time. Tentatively we have named our project Twin High Maintenance Machines. We had one actual practice thus far and things went much smoother than either of us anticipated. We look forward to performing for you all.

Check back for more details on the event as they become known.
