Music Events in Pasadena

Seasoned in the ways of side (she’s been drumming for Iron and Wine since 2017, including recording drums on his new single “In Your Ocean” ), Beth Goodfellow has recently been percolating her solo percussion project in the parch of Tucson, AZ. Immersed in that creative desert community, Goodfellow is articulating a fresh, surreal, and finely drawn sound that reflects her formative roots in traditional jazz and classical percussion, while simultaneously tossing those rules aside in favor of adventurous texture, tone, and composition. Out where the mirages dance it’s easy to dream that world domination by mallet instruments is as tangible as that pool of cool sparkling water on the horizon … and she’s hauling this vision back to LA on April 17th. Join her at Healing Force of the Universe for an evening of marimba loops, vibraphone, drum set and whatever else fits in the car. Accompanied by Nadav Peled on guitar and Jonathan Flaugher on bass. (Disclaimation: this is not a rehearsal for a recording session). Doors at 8 PM. $15 adv (+DICE fees)/$18 at the door. $0 +1 for Patron members, $7.50 for Sponsor members, $11.25 for Initiate members, www.healingforcerecords.com/memberships
