A Fine Frenzy -- FREE INSTORE

A Fine Frenzy - Free In-store Performance
Thursday, September 10th - 7:00pm

Coming way out of left field, this just added in-store is going to be the very definition of white-hot. Alison Sudol is a major sensation who is perched on the cusp of the release of her second full-length album, Bomb in a Birdcage, and if it's anywhere as well received as her debut, One Cell in the Sea, it won't be long before folks start asking if "she really played here?"

Alison cites influences including Coldplay and Keane, but the sharp-eared among you will hear traces of early Sarah McLachlan and Snow Patrol. While One Cell in the Sea was largely described as quiet and ethereal, Alison describes Bomb in the Birdcage by saying

"I think some people may be surprised, they think that I'm all fragile and ethereal-and that's lovely, it's flattering. It's all I've really let anyone see, up to this point. But I have a wild side too. I like to bang on things and cause a ruckus every now and then. I'm a quiet person with a loud streak. I like both. This record is a testament to that."

We are opening the guest list first for anyone who pre-orders Bomb in a Birdcage, beginning on Friday (09/04) at 11:00am (via phone or drop in visit only). If space allows, we will open it wide as we get closer to Thursday.
