...another frame from the piece... The album just came out! Here's a splendid piece from Ireland. Thank you, Folk and Tumble "Iguana's keyboard skills on the record are sublime....Add in the cabaret-punk vocal of Berit Ulseth, the booming drums of Michael Caskey and the bass and guitar of Zach Verdoorn and the unique sound of the Claudettes really finds its feet….‘High Times in the Dark’ is a classic noir-infused rock-and-roll record that is full of eccentricity and emotion." https://folkandtumble.com/audio/the-claudettes-high-times-in-the-dark/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xaWkHArbM/?igshid=11de28z7fic88

I had some cards printed up...then along came the Corona Virus! Cinequest has sent updates regarding the remainder of the festival... Here's where we're at:...The Mayor made it clear to me yesterday that we had to make some changes. In consultation with him, Cinequest has decided to reschedule the second week of this year's Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival to occur August 16-30, 2020. This will allow Cinequest to provide the joyful and celebratory 30th anniversary edition all deeply deserve. We are hoping you will play your film during the Summer edition (so we can do a lot more for it) and even consider attending. ...Cinequest , a 501(c)3 nonprofit, has taken a really hard financially hit this week, after preparing our best festival to date, and this will cause some of you disappointment and issues as well. It's been so encouraging that our supporters have backed us fully in what's happened over the last week and backed our decisions, practices, services, and the wonderful artists, story-tellers, innovators, and audiences of Cinequest. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9h1Nm5hhW6/?igshid=wr88tynmsiqt
