Weaving storytelling, harmonies, and live-looping, the duo creates soundscapes that enliven the soul, lift the spirit, and touch on the core of what it means to be human. Come as you are, with whatever you are carrying, or willing to let go- and relax into this co-created evening of shared musical expression.

James Rian O'Keeffe

Classical guitar, electric guitar, piano, tongue drum and harmonium set the scene for this exploration of the divine. Come witness temples made of rainbows, talking plants and fractal rivers. Add in an occasional freestyle singing adventure and you have a uniquely personal set of songs sure to fill your heart and mind with wonder.
