The Rastrelli Cello Quartet is exhilarating - and to say that their performances are breathtaking is an understatement! Hailing from Germany, the group will be visiting Fallbrook as part of their 2023 North American Tour. They have built a broad and unique repertoire that just can’t be found anywhere else. The cellos have such diverse sounds they make you think you are hearing an old piano playing ragtime, a saxophone of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, or Piazzolla’s bandoneon. This concert is a must-see!

"Loving" is the musical collaboration of David Parry, Lucas Henderson and Jesse Henderson. The band formed by way of a long-distance recording project (Victoria – Toronto) that resulted in the creation of their debut self-titled EP. After the unexpected embrace of this work, the band reconvened in Victoria, BC to begin playing live shows and work on new material. Following in the path of their debut EP, "If l am only my thoughts" was home recorded and represents a deeper exploration of the band’s creative process - a process marked by an appreciation for the generative limitations of recording to tape. The resulting album constructs a warm and dreamy sonic landscape kept adrift by existentially oriented lyrics and an unspecified all-encompassing sense of nostalgia. Between the recording and completion of "If l am only my thoughts", the band has toured extensively throughout North America and Europe, supporting prominent artists including Alice Phoebe Lou, Crumb and Still Woozy. For all live shows, "Loving" is joined by Keenan Mittag-Degala (Elan Noon) on drums. “Nihilist Kite Flyer”, the first single from the upcoming LP, is slated for release May 16, 2019. The full album will be released via Last Gang Records. This is a 21+ event SOCIALS: Facebook Twitter Instagram
