SUMMARY:Lonely Parrots Band @ AVL Salt Cave Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Lonely Parrots is a brand new folk-pop duo who are on tour and poppin’ by the Salt Cave for a fun outdoors show in our gardens. \nThursday May 9th 7:30-9:30 \nCheck out their sound here! \nMake a fun night out and join us for a session before the show starts! Bring a camping chair and/or a blanket to cozy up on under the stars for this magical evening in our Peace Gardens. You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks.\nLonely Parrots info: \nOne part Michael Martinez & one part Max Embers\, the two singer-songwriters have been\nmaking music and performing professionally for the past 8 years. Notable collaborations include the likes of Kelly Clarkson\, John Legend\, Ryan Tedder\, Naika & John Oates (to name a few). \nThey met in Boston at Berklee College of Music nearly a decade ago but only realized their\ncreative chemistry in the fall of 2022. What started as a sunset jam on the beach turned out to be the first of many songs\, the heart of which revolves around human connection\, the highs and lows of friendship and love\, as well as our beautiful planet and its incredible\, delicate nature. \nMoving seamlessly from haunting unison to soulful harmonies\, their sound often leaves\naudiences unsure of who is even singing which part. Unique and wonderful as their voices are on their own\, an entirely new and third voice is created when these songbirds sing together as Lonely Parrots – think Simon & Garfunkel\, but with a modern Coldplay twist! \nAfter a successful tour through the Pacific Northwest last year the duo is excited to start\nreleasing music this year! \nMichael & Max are also founders of the MORF initiative (Music On Regenerative Farms) which aims to bring concerts to sustainable farms and projects\, giving earth-conscious artists an opportunity to share their music in breathtaking outdoor settings and to raise awareness about the regenerative movement! \nBe sure to bring a camping chair and/or a blanket to cozy up on under the stars for this magical evening in our Peace Gardens. You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks as well.\nThursday May 9th 7:30 – 9:30\nSuggested donation $20
