Details: There’s also a video that goes along with artist Jonathan Zawadas beautiful work, but first, here’s the cover of “Back In The Game.” Zawada said that, when he was thinking about art for the track . . . “a version of that visual arose around a character wearing a kind of giant parade head with a fixed expression of mania stuck on their face, such that you couldn’t tell if their endless march was one of aggression or celebration.” I encourage you to check out more of Zawada’s remarkable artistry, including some cool mushroom images.

Pop singer-songwriter Jessica Baio headlined at Madame Lou’s during a stop on her Unsaid Tour.  The show, which immediately sold-out long ago, mainly featured material from her debut album, Unsaid.  And the captivated audience – singing on each song – knew every word.  Backed by a drummer and recorded music, Baio’s performance had a huge amount of interaction with the crowd which they thoroughly enjoyed.
