Coming to an Outside In show, you’ll find yourself banging your head to a heavy breakdown, moving your feet to something funky, or in a state of quiet nostalgia during a beautiful moment. Be prepared for a diverse spectrum of textures and feelings, and for an experimental journey through soulful and emotional compositions. Wear comfortable shoes.
