***About cuddle magic: In an intimate recording studio in Los Angeles, I sit in a packed room as Cuddle Magic plays their new songs for a willing crowd, the band clustered in the center of the room, puzzle piecing together, pump organ into bass clarinet, tiny synthesizer resting on organ, a single drum. Kristin Slipp sings. Ben Lazar Davis sings. Alec Spiegelman sings. Christopher MacDonald sings. Dave Flaherty sings. Beautifully. You're never sure what sound is going to come from who, the bass clarinet plays what a bass guitar would normally play, the pump organ drones what might normally be a string quartet, a willing suspension of disbelief dominoes throughout the room. Soon enough, the notion of "normal" is in the rearview, and we're quicksand in the hourglass of the band, chasing them from song to song, feeling to feeling, willing participants in Cuddle Magic's worldbuilding.*** Presented by The Sultan Room. This is a 21+ event
