Recorded live at Sacred Root Kava Lounge & Tea Bar, Ithaca NY
April 22, 2023.

Organised by E Weber-Han, I was invited to perform at the Sacred Root Kava Lounge & Tea Bar, an amazing place for connection and creativity, celebrating the spirit of art and music. This also happened to be the final gig and culmination of this US tour.

The Sacred Root Kava Lounge & Tea Bar is a truly spiritual place for connection and creativity, celebrating the spirit of art and music, which was very much reflected in the performance I played that night. The uniquely immersive atmosphere made for a truly sublime experience and a very memorable concert.

This time I was supported by my friend George not only in the sense that he was tour manager, driver, roadie and merch magician, but he actually did the support show for my performance, which you can listen to here:

Christine, who is responsible for all the artwork for the Materiaal series, was also there in person to get some direct inspiration for her drawings.

Sacred Root recently changed their name to the Nocturnal Cafe.
