🎶hope to see you! 🎶

I got a little obsessed with the rose bush reaching out from over the fence to the @canni_cafe_mke stage. A bee happily pollinated during G.Ananchev’s set, little feathers drifted from the sky while we listened to True Green, and I discovered a new church grotesque while Sean read one of his chilling fiction works. Really grateful @worldwidedirt asked Lomira/Adam and I to be a part of this tender (was the) night and much love&thanks to all who were present. (Last photo by @njheuer !)
One more reminder for tomorrow’s show that I’m excited to be a part of with @adumbkrause and to archive this wonderful digital poster made by @dannyhornsby for posterity. 🌿 You can discover us on Lomira.bandcamp.com 🪷
📡tune in to @wmsemke 7:30pm tonight (Tuesday) to hear these bands’ deep/possibly unreleased cuts, then see us IRL!🪐 …. This Friday, Lomira will play our first show since releasing our first digital records on Bandamp in 2020. We love the music we made there and hope you’ll listen…because we decided to write all new stuff for our set! We can’t wait to join @worldwidedirt@vernal_gas@dannyhornsby w/ @adumbkrause at @canni_cafe_mke .

EDITING to add that this incredible poster is by Dan Hornsby aka True Green!
^^Thanks to @collectionsbees@rosno Winona, MN nearly ran out of limes and fries. But as always @mwmfest was the best and I hope this lovely town lets us come back. Also, almost posted this with no caption classic instagram style. Imagine that.
Can’t wait for more @mwmfest this year with @collectionsbees and very excited for this lineup. Get your tickets at /groups/midwestmusicfest and come check it out! Midwest! Is the best!
Had the best weekend playing some amazing shows with my best buds, in The Visitations and @thealtos . Grateful for everyone who came out to experience the music Friday evening and Sunday afternoon with us. I cherish everyone in these photos as well as members and bill-mates not pictured here, and am grateful to be on the ride with you. Thanks to @voyager_mke@jordan_burich for putting on a great party for Altos to “serenade” everyone at. Beautiful b&w photos by @rosno and all the others of our load-in/load-out journey by @njheuer 🎉
This Friday 12/15 I’ll be playing songs from my last couple of releases at @anodynecoffee with some good friends who I call Visitations. Excited to join @caleyconwaymusic and looking forward to celebrating a new work from @publicmaximiano ! Thank you for inviting me on, Max!
We’ll also be celebrating another trip around the sun for Ken Palme! 💫🔊❤️🐐 Sure to be a felicitous evening, please join us!
Sick poster cred goes to @hasselhufff ⚔️
We have the honor of closing out Beans Fest tomorrow @beansandbarley ! 🌞 There’ll be music, vendors, and games/fun for the whole family! Also check out the very lovely article with personal stories in @milwaukeerecord that chronicles Beans as a vital arts hub, truly nourishing us body and ⚡️🎸🥁. We hope to see you at the fest!!
Some clips from Wednesday at @cactusclubmke 🌸 If we had anything to do with you coming out to see this powerhouse show, we thank you, and if you didn’t know of us already and enjoyed it, we thank you for listening & hope you explore/enjoy our music for many moons to come! 📹📷 #1 Dead Not Done by @philosaukee#2 Be the Dirt by @hasspowers#3 SNOWHIVE by @philosaukee
