Hosting the show inside the Garage certainly enhanced the intimacy factor.

A longtime Charlottesville favorite, Wes returns to the Garage, playing melodic chamber-pop with his cello, his voice and a loop peddle. Staunton-based Nelly Kate opens. We’re thrilled to have them both back - come rain or shine.

Through the work, Sean strives to oscillate between the invitation of chaos and the establishment of order - a terrifying yet essential process for growth - while exploring the lines between the self and the other; the mind and the body; and one’s perception and an ‘objective’ sense of reality.  Due to the large number of art exhibits tomorrow we’ll be extending our hours until 9:30PM.

On top of that the forecast for tonight is sunny and in the high-60’s. We highly suggest coming out for this one. Local singer/songwriter Chris Campanelli opens (suggested donation $5).

Refreshments provided as always.
