Friends – we’re thrilled to announce an expansive new series of concerts for the fall in Santa Cruz. We’re keeping this email short so you have a chance to check out the work on your own.

Hope to see you at one of these, and remember if you’re not in Santa Cruz you’ll still be able to check out many of our favorite sets by subscribing to The Essential Indexical.

Finally, we would love to hear from you if you have a concert or a lecture/presentation that you would like to bring to Santa Cruz, or if you’re in Santa Cruz and would like to present events through our series. We recently updated our call for submissions and outside curators, so take a look and if it seems right, please get in touch.
