Two Another are Eliot Porter and Angus Campbell, a musical duo originating from Sydney, Australia. Their kaleidoscopic mix of Electronic, Alternate RnB, Indie Pop and Soul has been heard across the globe since joining forces in 2015, amassing a following of over 1.8 million monthly listeners and over 400 million streams to date, with tour dates spanning across Europe, the Americas, the UK and back home in Australia. Now based in Europe, the band’s global origin story lies under the Australian sun with Eliot and Angus meeting in their high school music program where they were taught audio production by hometown dance-music-icons Bag Raiders. The pair quickly bonded over a mutual love of D’Angelo, Daft Punk and Danger Mouse. “Growing up in that golden era of indie, Ed Banger and French Touch, we shared a love of 90s electronica, dance and hip hop, and our parent’s Motown records,” says Angus, “There was a lot to be inspired by.” The duo’s recordings have since gone on to achieve significant success, accumulating hundreds of millions of streams of their EPs "Another Tape" and "Two Sides," followed by their debut album "Back To Us." Their versatility is evident in their remixes and collaborations with artists like Young Franco, Portugal The Man, The Magician, and Claptone. On stage Two Another creates an undeniable connection with any audience they are put in front of. The live band elevates the catalog, taking their grooves, musicality and vocal-driven anthems to another level. Outside of headline tours of their own the pair have made their way onto stages around the world while supporting the likes of Rufus Du Sol, Flight Facilities, SG Lewis, Daniel Caeser, Cannons, and Roosevelt. 2024 is set to be the biggest year yet for the pair. They will release their second full length album, ‘SUBURBIA’ in the Fall alongside their first ever World Tour. The new album is a coming-of-age story that follows fictional characters through their challenges and triumphs of navigating the final four years of high school in the suburbs. This musical odyssey unfolds through four distinct EPs — "FRESHMAN," "SOPHOMORE," "JUNIOR," "SENIOR" — and culminates in the collected works released at the "SUBURBIA LP." Time: Saturday, Aug. 16 9 p.m. (Doors 8 p.m.) Two Another on Facebook / Instagram

National Cathedral Organist Thomas Sheehan to Perform at St. James by-the-Sea Following President Carter's State Memorial Service Three days after performing at President Jimmy Carter's state funeral, Thomas Sheehan, Cathedral Organist and Interim Director of Music at Washington National Cathedral, will present an organ recital at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla on Sunday, January 12, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. The recital will showcase St. James' magnificent new Rosales/Parsons pipe organ, dedicated in 2023. The instrument represents a remarkable collaboration between two distinguished organ builders: Manuel Rosales of Los Angeles and Parsons Organ Builders of Canandaigua, New York. This masterpiece of craftsmanship features 65 voices, 79 ranks, 102 stops, and 4,551 pipes, making it a landmark instrument in North America. The program will feature the grand Praeludium in G Major by Nicholaus Bruhns, Sasurai, a virtuosic piece by 20th-century Japanese composer Takashi Sakai, and variations on the beloved hymn tune Engelberg by Mark Miller. Following this performance, Sheehan returns to Washington to prepare for the 2025 presidential inaugural prayer service at the National Cathedral. Dr. Sheehan brings an impressive musical pedigree to this performance. As the Cathedral Organist at Washington National Cathedral, he has performed at numerous significant national events, including the virtual service celebrating President Biden and Vice President Harris's inauguration. His distinguished career includes positions at Harvard University's Memorial Church, Saint Mark's Church in Philadelphia, and Trinity Episcopal Church in Princeton. A graduate of the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music with diplomas in both organ and harpsichord, Sheehan holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Boston University and degrees from Westminster Choir College. In 2016, he was recognized as one of The Diapason's "20 under 30," marking him as a rising star in the organ performance world. His international performance career has taken him across the United States, Canada, and Europe, with notable appearances in Reykjavík, Toulouse, and Montréal. The concert is part of the St. James Music Series. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend this extraordinary musical event. Visit: National Cathedral organist Thomas Sheehan in concert
