*AL FAAET*
Playing in town since 1984 with a wide ranging and eclectic mix of
musicians, Al loves the energy and power hidden in the drums. He has
been a member of the Zozobra orchestra for 7 years. He co-founded the Voice
of the Trees series to help show off some of the town's percussive
power. His drum-vocation will help launch our 14th show into the energetic
stratosphere.

*HIDDEN WHALE (Angela Gabriel and Jim Goulden)*

both multi-instrumentalists who regularly perform in many different genres.
