There's a new (garage) band in town featuring Rachel Ries, jeremy messersmith, Hilary James, JE Sunde, Sadie Gustafson-Zook and The Starfolk and this is their first show ever!

One hot hot day jeremy messersmith came over to pick sour cherries in my brother's backyard and jump in the dodgy above-ground pool. Somewhere between the sticky fingers and toweling off he said "Hey, wanna gather up some friends and play in my garage before it freezes? It's all set up for band rehearsals. We could be a low-stakes seasonal band, playing each other's songs and swapping instruments."

Who could say no to that.

So that's how jeremy, me, Hilary James (bathtub cig), Sadie Gustafson-Zook, JE Sunde, and Brian & Allison (The Owls, Starfolk) became an honest to god band. Currently everyone fights over playing the bass so we'll see how things shake down for day 2 of my fall residency. Oh yeah and jeremy's garage looks like it was designed by a feisty grandmother in 1972, hence the name.

Rachel Ries is the voice behind Her Crooked Heart, the choral arranging mastermind behind Kith + Kin Chorus and the builder of a terribly charming tiny home on wheels. She's released many records and toured around the world but mostly she enjoys being an auntie, thinking in 8-part harmony, solving construction conundrums, writing songs for patrons and honing her Portuguese Egg Tart baking skills.
