Karen is moving away, and this is our last opportunity to play for a Chico audience for some time. Join us in this intimate—and bookish—setting for a memorable experience, as we kiss these great Afternoon Bloom songs farewell. Afternoon Bloom unites long-time Chico music scene players Aaron Lyon (writer and star of rock opera Hollywood Outsider) and singer/songwriter Karen Joy Brown (Chico CAMMIES nominee) with twin sister and recent Portland transplant, Kim Ketner. A talented rhythm section includes Brian Logue on drums and Mick Nantell on bass. Expect mesmerizing harmonies, eclectic acoustic and electric guitar, and intelligent, poetic, and sometimes humorous songwriting featuring selections from Karen’s two discs, Fabulous Junkyard (2008), and Little Words (2010) as well as new material. Listen for well-loved covers like Don’t Stop Believing, Englishman in New York, and Walk the Line, carefully and playfully adapted to shine through this band’s talent.
