***HUNGRY GHOSTS MUSICIAN AIREENE ESPIRITU***

Up now at the top link in our bio, get to know one half of this Thursday's lineup.

"Aireene Espiritu's songs are a mix of stompin', swayin' and timeless Americana reminiscent of front porch storytelling, of ghosts and the living, times of laughter and tears. Aireene was a soloist with the Glide Ensemble in San Francisco, toured nationwide and internationally, and in 2016, was added to the roster of artists under non-profit label, Little Village Foundation. She created A Color-Coded Symphony project, a musical experience connecting the audience’s ethnic origins to rhythms of the world and whose aim is to nurture curiosity and openness towards other cultures through music. Her latest project is The Sampaguitas, singing Filipino folk songs and originals in three-part harmonies."
