12/7 – Abbi Rajesekhar returns to No Fun House!

Former Michigan / current Chicago musician Abbi Rajesekhar is on tour again, and making another stop at the No Fun House. Abbi’s music is strong and heartfelt, with a great aesthetic that sticks with you long after she’s done playing. I strongly recommend you check it out.

Also playing is Kalamazoo’s very own (even though we stole him from Traverse City), Cat Peril (Pat Carrol). Scarcely will you find a better, more emotive musician than Pat. A great songwriter, guitar player, and generally awesome dude, Pat Carrol is an asset and boon to the scene for sure. Plus if enough people bug him, he might play an R. Kelly song. Finally, a (now rare) acoustic performance by Kalamazoo’s Birdfingers will also take the stage. Deep voice, tasty guitar work, and songs about things people used to write songs about but don’t write songs about much anymore these days. A great performance for sure.

Doors open at 8 and the music starts shortly thereafter. Bring a little bit of cash for donation for the travelin’ act. Bring some soda or chips or cookies to share if you can manage. See you guys tonight!
