ABOUT THE MUSICIANS: Andrew Byars is Bay Area based multi instrumentalist and songwriter. His musical style is influenced heavily by American Folk and Brazilian Samba and Bossa Nova. He was a driving force of the mid 2010’s San Francisco Folk band The Parmesans and has recently collaborated with the likes of Luke Temple and Kosta Galanopolous on his recent debut solo album release, Company. Andrew’s live show includes an eclectic combination of original songs and covers from the likes of The Everly Brothers, Chico Buarque and Townes Van Zandt. Daniel Labov Dunne is a classically trained improvisational musician. He studied piano with Tom Turinia, whose teaching lineage traces directly back to Beethoven and Bach. Daniel is also a self-taught singer, guitarist, and harpist, and enjoys creating music freely on the spot, particularly to create joy and playfulness in a space. He was born, raised and homeschooled in a musical family in Fairfax, CA. The qualities of presence and energetic sensitivity behind his music are supported by his work with Living Essence, a spiritual psychology system created by his mentor Scott Hamilton.
