Feels like spring! Sounds like it, too.

Hi! Here are some invites to shows in Chicago, and some links for the folks farther away.

For those in Chicago

- Friday, April 14 (tomorrow) - throwing a house concert with some original music performed by me, Lane Beckstrom and Liz Chidester! 7:45pm at 1542 N Fairfield Ave, pay-what-you-can. Digital flyer by Alayne May below. I did indeed buy choral risers from the suburbs off Craigslist and outfit them with cushions to create comfy, tiered seating in my very own home. Pic below.
- Sunday, April 30 - Playing with Half Gringa for the Ancestral Home EP release at Sleeping Village. You can hear my trumpet on "Sevenwater". Tickets here.

For those all around the world

- I arranged and recorded a lush gaggle of trumpets for "Sakura" by Frankie Master (Bandcamp, Youtube, Spotify) over at Space Cowboy Studios. A perfect song to enter spring and reflect on the circles we run and the circles we break out of.
- I'm obsessed with this song by Gabriel De Rosa (Spotify, Youtube)

OK, enough links! Talk to you soon!
Ivan

and the new seating!
