At 7am (live at 24 HR DRONE)

good morning -

Briefly writing to you from the lobby of a hotel in Montgomery, Alabama to tell you about this sick live set we've just put up on Bandcamp:

Ben SeretanAt 7am (live at 24 HR DRONE), by Evans Saxl Seretan Thayer Quartet

the Evans Saxl Seretan Thayer Quartet made its world premiere at Basilica Hudson's 24 HOUR DRONE festival earlier this year and we're sharing a (nicely mastered) board recording for a good cause

all sales will benefit the Pacific Birth Collective, doing crucial work in the wake of the Maui wildfires: https://pacificbirthcollective.org

listen closely and you'll hear a bubble machine, a shaking clutch of bamboo shoots, rustling sleeping bags, and many goofy sleepy smiles

I'm still right in the middle of the 1Beat residency/fellowship experience and still very much at a loss for how to talk about what it's been like - surreal, transformative, very exhausting, extremely fun, etc. We have shows coming up in Jackson, Mississippi and New Orleans in the next week or so - if you happen to be around, do let me know :o)

we'll be back to regular MBB programming after October 15th

but what about you? have you seen the sun rise lately? to who do you say good morning? are you firing up the bubble machine?

xo,
