May 11

Soundpost Session: Natalie Spears

7-10 p.m.

The Times Collaborative, 338 Main St. 

Natalie Spears and Antonio Lopez light up the stage at Longmont’s Soundpost Session. Spears brings listeners in touch with the warmth of community, the quiet awe of wild places, and the intimate corners of humanity. Inspired by her father's English Folk heritage, his talents as a jazz pianist, and her own explorations, Natalie carries a deep love for both musical tradition and evolution.

Here We Are, the new album by Antonio Lopez, explores the intimate connection between our hopes, dreams, and fears. Here We Are is an alluring collection of songs written by an artist wrestling with his ego as he chases success and slow dances with failure.
