Went to see Pupi Avati’s The House With The Laughing Windows at @musicboxchicago with @1ntellectualbimbo & @cazbad. This song is obvs inspired by the experience. I’m not quite sure what it’s about just yet… the song or the movie.

On MAY 1st my band & I (CBVB & The Blanks) are sharing the stage at @fitzgeraldsnightclub with two absolute legends: Chicago’s own @cultcanyon (featuring Josh Chicoine of The M’s) and the Maine-born, Philadelphia-based, mythic singer-songwriter @jacobaugustinemusic . All three of us have brand new music to share with you. TICKETS LINK IN BIO

FROM THE PRESS ROOM:
CBVB makes music that lives somewhere between cinematic and conversational... part Leonard Cohen barroom confession, part Nilsson daydream, part “how did he even think of that?” He’s been at it for a bit now, quietly stacking songs that feel lived-in, strange, funny, and a little devastating in the best way.

Cult Canyon (feat. Chicago’s Josh Chicoine and a rotating cast of killers) is all about collaboration and world-building... lush, thoughtful, and proof that making something beautiful still matters. It’s a gorgeous sonic collision part the classic, psych-tinged indie rock of Chicoine’s Polyvinyl days with The M’s, part the expansive, avant-orchestral sweep you’d expect from collaborators out of Poi Dog Pondering and Helen Money.

Jacob Augustine brings that mythic energy... a voice you don’t forget, songs that swing from bombastic and orchestral to bare-bones, always hitting somewhere real. The press has rightfully obsessed over his “gilded set of pipes”...if you are a fan of the soaring, emotional vocal acrobatics of Jeff Buckley, Roy Orbison, or Jim James, his live set will absolutely floor you.

Come see us along with @cultcanyon & @jacobaugustinemusic on May 1st at @fitzgeraldsnightclub in Berwyn. Tickets in the bio 😉

Just two weeks until we hit the stage at @fitzgeraldsnightclub on May 1st.
