Hey Everyone,

Just popping in to remind you that I have two shows coming up this week. I'll be performing the music from Imperfect Intervals, my recent minimal solo piano release. Two shows, one in Detroit and one in Ann Arbor. Details:

Friday 3/25 | Ann Arbor
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
306 N Division St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
7pm
$10 admission

Thursday 3/24 | Detroit
Trinosophes
1464 Gratiot Ave, Detroit, MI 48207
Doors at 6pm
$10 admission

Masks required at both shows.

Imperfect Intervals is a meditation on self-acceptance. Emergent sonic structures reveal themselves, like a river carving out its own path. Released by 1473 Records in July 2021 and recorded during a mad two weeks in October/November 2020, the nine pieces on the record are documents of an improvisational process that prioritizes resonance, generous listening, and imperfection.

I'm opening for (and playing with) Virago, as they release their recent recording of Harriet Steinke's "Listening for Bells."

Additionally, I have some fun ones coming up this spring. If you're in Southeast Michigan, would be great to see you as the birds start to chirp and the flowers start to bloom:

Saturday 3/26: w/ Marion Hayden, Blue Llama, Ann Arbor
Wednesday 3/30: w/ Noah Jackson, Cliff Bell's, Detroit
Sunday 4/3: Malis/Ishmael Ali/Jonathan Taylor, Ziggy's, Ypsilanti
Saturday 4/16: Malis/Derek Worthington, Ziggy's
Thursday 4/28: w/ Jonathan Taylor, Blue Llama, Ann Arbor
Tuesday 5/17: w/ Kaleigh Wilder, Kerrytown Concert House, Ann Arbor
Wednesday 6/1: Solo Piano, Headlining AEPEX Fest, Ziggy's

This may be the last time you hear from me until late May/early June. I've got big things to share with you for this summer, but for now I'm keeping it all under wraps. When the time is right, I can't wait to let you know what I've got cooking up.

In the meantime, I hope to see you this week, or sometime this spring.

Thanks for your continued support,
- Michael
