FRUITION When Fruition formed in Portland in 2008, the band’s three songwriters earned their first fans by busking together on Oregon’s street corners. Those informal gigs were raw and real, filled with all the honest imperfections of a live performance. Hundreds of shows later, How To Make Mistakes revisits that flaws-and-all approach, using it as the foundation for the most definitive album of the band’s career. Tracked live at eTown Hall’s recording studio in Colorado and engineered/mixed by the band’s own drummer, Tyler Thompson, it’s an album that embraces not only the in-the-moment immediacy of a live band, but also the love, longing, loss, and sheer life lived during the band’s 15+ years together. *Standing Room Only
