Saturday night with Strange Boutique DC and Talking To Shadows was amazing! Strange Boutique's new songs melded seamlessly with beloved older songs, Talking to Shadows kicked the live music off with a dark, shimmering set that was lovely to behold. It was a joy to witness and be a part of. See the videos below for clips from Strange Boutique's set and Talking to Shadows. Thank you so much Strange Boutique for asking me to spin!
