Cuddle Magic

Cuddle Magic is a large collective of conservatory-trained musicians from Brooklyn and Philadelphia who have burst right through the walls of the academy. They have the skill and know-how to successfully mess around with conventional musical forms in a way that is playful, engaging and genuinely exciting. Put another way, they perform deftly crafted, lush, whimsical songs with wide-ranging instrumentation including strings, percussion, vibraphone, trumpet, clarinet, keyboards, guitars, and many voices. They balance the sounds of folk music with sometimes atonal harmonies, pop song-craft with rhythmic complexity, and direct emotional lyrics with dense wordplay. Each show is a unique experience, and not to be missed!
Rosary Beard will open the show with their intricately intertwined, quiet, thoughtful acoustic guitar music co-written and fussed over by Hunter Sagehorn of the rock band Alta Mira and Matthew Loiacono, formerly of the Kamikaze Hearts. This duo was named "Best Acoustic Act" in this year's Metroland Best Of issue.
