Sparkle Taffy invites you to join us in celebrating the arrival of winter with an evening of music. The event is the fourth in an ongoing series titled Markings, created to commemorate meaningful occurrences and dates. Markings IV will feature performances by K8A, Kieran Lally and Vamba Bility.

K8A's Impressions of Ethiopia: for solo violin and electronics
This is a collection of musical vignettes by American violinist and composer Kaethe Hostetter. Sourcing from her 11 years living in Addis Ababa, she transports you to the bustling streets of the East African metropolis, evoking the crackling sounds of a saxophone blaring out of a barbershop radio, a shepherd's flute melody turned dub reggae, the fervent dancing on packed dirt floors of a rural honey-wine bar, and the funky big band psychedelic sounds of Ethiopia's "Golden Era".

Kieran Lally is an improvisor, guitarist and musician based in Conway, MA. He is a founding member of the experimental rock group, Horse Spirit Penetrates. His music has been heard at DIY and experimental music venues and events throughout the United States over the past 20 years.
