Hopmonk Sebastopol

7:00 PM19:00

Hopmonk Sebastopol

Sebastopol, California

North Bay Album Release Show!  GET TICKETS HERE (This will be a sit down show with tables and chairs in Hopmonk Sebastopol’s concert space, “The Abby”)

Fresh off the release of their critically acclaimed new album, Northern California-based unclassifiable duo Misner & Smith return home to Sonoma County with a full band to play a special album release show. The duo has played HopMonk many times over the years, and with All is Song they turn in their finest work to date--an album of inspired declarations to the power of music, song, and collaboration.

Technically precise songwriting mirrored with an improvisatory spirit and soaring harmonies have made the band one of the most acclaimed acts in the Americana world. Blending elements of that genre with bluegrass, traditional folk ballads, and more pop-leaning ideas, Misner & Smith makes music gloriously nonconforming.

Teaming up with the duo on both the new album and for this show will be two of the musicians whose contributions were foundational to the new record. Co-producer, and multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan (American Music Club, David Byrne, The Black Crowes) will be featured on pedal steel guitar, keyboards, and electric guitar. Oakland-based drummer and multi-instrumentalist Dillon Vado will be featured on drums. This show will celebrate the official North Bay release of Misner & Smith’s sixth album, All is Song.

Lola Guthrie will open the show!
