Shannon Lay gets better and better every time I see her. She had a backing band at Zebulon on a recent night. They did a group meeting on Zebulon's floor before heading up onto the stage to provide the audience with some beautifully structured music. I do believe this must be one of the first sets that had this specific backing band. One of the musicians was playing drums and keys throughout the night. There were a couple moments where it seemed like she was uncertain if she should be on drums or keys. It didn't matter. It was just some amusing moments that just blended into some beautiful music. The night ended up with the song "Everybody." The band switched to backing vocals. That created wonderful chills.

Mikal Cronin opened up the night with a one man multi-instrumental set. There was an art flare to his set. He switched up between keys, guitar and electronic flute.
What I learned after the set was that Shannon Lay and Mikal Cronin are hitting the road together.
And interestingly, this is the first time in awhile where I've gone to Zebulon and gotten some really good lights. Usually, the venue loves to keep the lights barely on.
