Alice Howe & Freebo share a rare musical connection built on trust, history, and finely crafted songs. Freebo’s expressive fretless bass work—shaped by a decade alongside Bonnie Raitt and collaborations with legendary artists—intertwines seamlessly with Alice Howe’s clear, unforced vocals and thoughtful songwriting. Together, they create a focused, harmony-rich performance that highlights two distinct voices working as one. Their duo album Alice Howe & Freebo Live debuted at #1 on the Folk Radio Charts, making this an ideal night to experience their collaboration in the intimate setting of Godfrey Daniels, a true Live Music Listening Room.

Peter Case returns to the stage as one of America’s most enduring and respected songwriters. With a career spanning more than five decades, Case draws from a deep catalog shaped by his solo work and his time with the Nerves and the Plimsouls. His songs blend rock, pop, and country influences while reflecting on love, loss, and the American experience. In the intimate setting of Godfrey Daniels’ Live Music Listening Room, audiences can expect a performance rooted in craft, history, and connection—an evening where the stories behind the songs matter as much as the songs themselves.

Tournament-style Scrabble. Players of all abilities are welcome.

Ultimately, Feed The Fire is more than an album title—it's a rallying cry emblematic of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong’s enduring philosophy. Refreshingly dynamic, powerfully resonant, and irresistibly danceable, it marks a milestone release poised to captivate listeners across genres. Ormont sums it up perfectly: "We've been given the gift of this fire, this passion. So it's our responsibility to nurture it, embrace it, and spread it wild. Because when the band and fans reach new heights together, that's the real spark.”
