CLOUD BELLY: 7:15pm
Melancholy Chamber-Pop, Perfect for Any Occasion.
ABOUT CLOUDBELLY: Corey Laitman, Sam Perry, Reed Sutherland and Cynthia Tolson. “Together, the group take Laitman’s emotive and poetic songs and bend them into a myriad of shapes, from gentle and vulnerable folk songs to catchy and cathartic indie rock anthems. Strings soar and subtle beats and electronics bubble up from some unseen wellspring, all coming together in and experimental but emotionally immediate style.” — Liam Doyle
