Dina's August music
Dina Maccabee
Thanks to everyone who came out for the Necessary Monsters show. That sure was fun! It was a real privilege to work with such a dedicated and talented cast and crew.
The musical life continues apace, so here, in no particular order, are some events you might want to check out. Look forward to seeing you out and about!

Thorny Brocky Tour! Bay Area and SoCal shows.
"San Francisco-based bass clarinetist and composer Aaron Novik writes lushly evocative music that is meticulously composed yet never fails to surprise. His chamber pop ensemble Thorny Brocky draws its influences from dreamy indie bands like Deerhoof and Blonde Redhead; the jumpy rhythms of Jewish and Eastern European music; and the visceral joyful edge of prog rock and heavy metal. Expect music from the band's new release, feautring songs penned to the lyrics of Bay Area "outsider" poets." -- (hmm, not sure who wrote this! but it sounds about right - dm)
Aaron Novk - bass clarinet
Kasey Knudsen - alto sax
Marié Abe - accordion
Dina MacCabee - violin
Melody Ferris - vocals
Jordan Glenn/Jaime Moore - drums
