Album Preview & Benefit Concert

Sunday, August 15, 2021

We are delighted to be *almost ready* to release our new album

Every Migrant is my Fellow


All the music on the album depicts, celebrates, or mourns for those who are in life-altering transit: vagabonds of all sorts, migrants, refugees, those newly born, those departing this life.

We'll play three different sets throughout the day  (Times in Pacific Daylight Time) and stream them via Marla's Facebook Page and our YouTube Channel.

Brunch Set: 11:30-12:30
Tea Set: 4:30-5:30
Soiree: 7:30-8:30

We hope you can join us for one or more!


In keeping with our theme and out of respect for those in these passages, our event will benefit the International Rescue Committee.  The IRC responds to the world’s most dire humanitarian crises and helps those whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and get control over their lives. In  more than 40 countries and over 20 U.S. cities, their dedicated teams  provide clean water, shelter, health care, education and empowerment  support to refugees and displaced people.


For the month of August, we'll offer preorders for the new CD for $20. We'll send $10 from every preorder to the IRC. We can't wait to see what we can raise by doing this!  We hope you'll be a part of it. Preorder Here!

And during the concert, we'll be sharing the IRC Donation Link on our live stream, and we hope you'll give generously!
