Michael Shynes & The Long Way Home Trio (Night One!)
I would say we have earned this privilege to witness the pinnacle shows of the year… to end another best year ever! There is only one way to fill the last nights on a calendar at the 318 Cafe. Born out of desire to create ‘real authentic guitar driven music’ at a time when digital and AI are said to control the creative future, Michael Shynes & The Long Way Home Trio (Tommy Vee & Jasper Nephew) begs to differ, and seeks to prove that you are truly missing something when removing the human element from performed music.michaelshynes.com

Terminal Three
Three uniquely talented musicians join to create a stirring mix of “progressive world music” with futuristic flavors on a combination of instruments seen nowhere else. Greg Herriges plays (and sings into) his guitar and Greek bouzouki with a singular, award-winning approach honed by his studies of Eurasian music. rundio represents the 21st century with Chapman stick, a 10-stringed tapped instrument that sings like a bass, a piano, an electronic orchestra, and sometimes all at once. Michael Bissonnette juggles an array of global percussion including cajon, frame drums, zil tree, and Aztec death whistle. The music is original and ancient, daring and mesmerizing. facebook.com/TerminalThreeMusicgregherriges.comrundiomusic.com
