For almost a year I've been pressing buttons and pulling levers and shoving faders from back porches and basements and makeshift lairs. I press the big button that makes us go Live. Sometimes Kristen presses the big red button that brings us back down again but generally speaking - there has been no moment in the past year where I've gotten to solely perform. 

Thursday - I just get to play.

Institute of Musical Traditions presents ilyAIMY at Allyworld - a beautiful studio space that has the space for us to bring in Rowan Corbett. I won't have to run all the cables, ask everyone to play, then run downstairs and squeeze headphones to my head. Grammy-award winning Charlie Pilzer will be twisting the knobs, pressing the buttons. All we need to do is play - and I don't remember when I last had such a simple luxury.

Tickets are just $10 and they're available through imtfolk.org. I hope you'll join us.

Our awkward plea .... you remember all those gigs we used to play? We sure hope we'll get back to them someday. In the meantime if you need a little US in your Life we've got physical merch at ilyaimy.square.site and digital merch at ilyaimy.bandcamp.com - and of course we'll happily accept donations at paypal.me/ilyaimy and Venmo @ilytips.

Okay. I can look at a calendar and let you know when the last time was that I had that luxury. In September Jay Keating allowed Rowan and I to have that luxury with a show for Songwriters Association of Washington, and maybe October 4th you could point out that Sky Stage mostly allowed for that luxury for an actual ilyAIMY show - but I still ran the feed so... 

Thank you Charlie Pilzer. Thank you for pushing my buttons AND having a box to keep Rowan in!
