Such a a treat to offer up one of our favorite morsels of Torah by Rav @brandicarlile at one of our favorite places, @urj_osrui ! Thank you #hava26 family for this sacred container of song and community.

Shabbat shalom.

We are so fortunate to be gathering with an incredible group of musicians this summer, many of whom are from right here in the PNW.

Here is a small glimpse of what you will hear. Take it in, slow down, and let it carry you into Shabbat.

Sometimes we add 3 part harmony to songs that didn't originally have it. We're obligated to #honor ,#respect , and play #homage to the #jamaican reggae #legends that came before us. It's almost impossible to explain the influence they've had on us, and the joy we've felt from their soul & craft. We did ok on this one. I promise we'll do better next time. Thank you @1johnnyosbourne for enhancing this world with your talents.

Originally released in 1980 on Johnny Osbourne's "Folly Lover" album, Love So Strong is one of our favorite downtempo songs to dub out and our our own spin on.

happy birthday to the sunshine of my life 😭 i love you so much @_elianalight_ 🌞

There’s no one having more fun playing bass and singing than @normanbakermusic and I feel like the luckiest person to collab with him in any fashion, any time.This is what happens when you are in the crowd when he is performing, locked in the pocket and locked in the love of the music! This is a video I took of my long time friends and musical loves that is @firemarshallventura with @anthony_b_originalfireman.Fitting that I call Norm the #FireMarshall himself … backing #anthonyb the original fireman.

Norm and his band of Seattle legends, not just in reggae and rocksteady yet in many other genres of music, come together May9th as the original cast of FMV gonna crush a set!With dancing goddess and vocals to blow you away is @chavam keeping the band cool and at ease at all times.@chrispoagemusic is a multi talented man stacked with style points, who is also from what I understand at the helm of recording lots of these songs with FMV and boy do they sound amazing! @evansjacoby just keeps on amazing me, seems he’s just got it yall, hire him, or don’t cause norm will kill me 😝… @jonathankimballmusic is an inspiration to me along with Chava, with vocals, this man has so much soul and his precision on guitar is golden.@leifdalan the piano man, guy that I study… still… if that doesn’t say enough about the man come see what I mean… dare you.
I love playing with this band, on any instrument they’ll have me on…it is just as fun to watch andenjoy in their offerings of music and love, and some filthy pockets!

@ponoranch May 9th this band is playing, original cast… and @superniceguysmusic is headlining yall… stupid lineup! Let’s f’n go!

It’s Earth Day and here’s a new song, Honolulu Blue, which is about the one thing that can end war, melt ice, and doesn’t need any oil—love. ❤️

Love one another. Take care of each other. Remember that we were all kids once upon a time.

I don’t know about you - but for me lately, celebrating life and connection through music has felt more essential than ever. And it’s such an honor to get to play with Tor Dietrichson, a local legend who has performed with countless renowned musicians throughout his illustrious career. We love playing at North City Bistro - it’s one of the best venues in town, if you haven’t yet been there.
So grateful to everyone for supporting live music!
