Friends Of The Emery In The News: Port St. Willow, Cincy Fringe and more
Our network of friends who have performed at The Emery continues to grow, and we like to keep tabs on what our talented friends are up to. Here is an update on a few of them.
- Port St. Willow, who played at The Emery during last years MidPoint Music Festival, recently received some praise from Brian Eno. From Consequence Of Sound…
After garnering praise from the incomparable Brian Eno, Port St. Willow’s 2012 debut Holiday received a much deserved re-release from Downtown Recordings. Not wanting to bore old fans with a simple rehashing of the album, Nicholas Principe, the man behind the band, recorded a sweeping 25-minute suite to tag off the record.
- And finally, check out this fantastic poster from another MidPoint show at The Emery from last fall. It was also done by a great local group, PowerHouse Factories, check out more of their work here.
