Soon on the horizon at Trumpet Blossom Cafe, Friday August 14th. The return of BCMC with Dayvyd Lunch to open.

On Stash, the absolutely energy-drenched 2nd album from BCMC, the guitar and keys duo soars through waves of pleasant rhythmic turbulence on the way to show us just what they got:

Needle down: increased activity dubs and baubles the sonic surface of BCMC’s Stash planet. Waves from Arabian, Indian, Flamenco and Soul groove in alliance under the expanse of an all-world flag, representing a borderless pursuit of cosmic music moments in the hand, of/by/for all the people of folk, rock and jazz, psych, west coast psych, prog, DIY, experimental, traditional, programmatic, impressionistic, liturgic, electric...!

Maybe it’s in the DNA between Cooper Crain on organ & synth and Bill MacKay on guitar? BCMC’s groove-based understanding/space-based alignment of purpose is two-headed (four-handed) intuition in music, aurally forming whenever playing, composing, improvising, or all the above. Stash is part guitar and keyboard recital, part unbridled electroacoustic assembly of spontaneous international deep and wide sounds. Happening between them, somehow. Like the time: guitar and keyboard pushing, then pulling back in space. The sound of two people agreeing on this. Patterns emerge, units form, and then, we feel BCMC alive in the wide-open air of the room.

There’s a Chris sized pit in all our hearts. A night full of noise is incoming as an attempt to fill the gaping hole, or maybe just to get together and commiserate on how big that cavity is.

Doors are at 8 PM. Show at 9 PM. You are invited and encouraged to come early to the home of all things weird, Trumpet Blossom Cafe, to enjoy dinner at 6 PM.

Thank you to Dylan Marcus McConnell for continuing to overwhelm with your design and spirit.

Thank you to Katy Meyer for hosting and continuing to be a space for noise and celebration.

Thank you to a stacked lineup of artists who jumped on the opportunity to celebrate Chris. Our town is lucky to have you.

$10 suggested donation (No One Turned Away For Lack of Funds). After paying all of the artists, proceeds from the show will be used to continue to bring weird music to town in Chris’s legacy.

Masma Dream World invokes , magic, and healing as a form of worship to the universal Dark Mother.

Blending drone, bass, noise, percussion, and voice with the use of experimental electronics, field recordings, synthesizers and effects to create devotional soundscapes for deep listening. Trained in butoh, Devi invites you to participate in cathartic ceremonies and sound-healing rituals.

The sophomore album was released in February 2025 to critical acclaim, including a coveted spot on the cover of The Wire Magazine. The album was born from an extensive period of time spent deepening her spirituality through meditation, Hindu mysticism, and Advaita Vedantic texts.

MDW ceremonies have been performed at international festivals such as Le Guess Who?, REWIRE, Transmission Waves Festival, DUNK, Raw Power Festival, and Afrofuturism Festival presented by Carnegie Hall, just to name a few.
