Tickets go on sale online tomorrow, February 26th.

Devotionals (Podcast #226)
Devotionals (Podcast #226) This week's podcast profiles Devotionals, a San Francisco band combining the talents of Tyson Vogel (Two Gallants) and Anton Patzner (Judgement Day). If you've only seen Vogel behind a drum kit with the Gallants, you might be surprised to see him finger-picking through a series of mostly instrumental folk-rock compositions, aided by Anton's violin and some guest contributors. The songs on Devotionals, out now on Alive Records, are restrained, measured works that unfold into spacious mini-epics. It is not uncommon to use the term "soundtrack music" to favorably describe instrumental songs; by channeling a well-considered balance of [...]
Video: One Night Music session with Devotionals
http://vimeo.com/13664480 Another live performance made possible by One Night Music was posted last week, featuring Devotionals, the project of one of Two Gallants (Tyson Vogel) and the Patzner brothers. Vogel has been living and playing music in the city for a long time, and this session captures a few moments of his recollection, not to mention was recorded with a perfect backdrop -- the very San Francisco-feeling dwelling of Michael Musika. It goes without saying that this session holds an intimacy spot on to Devotional's appeal, and the session notes from ONM's Elia Vargas definitely agree: That Saturday afternoon at [...]

Devotionals’ self-titled album is out now, release show on 8/6
Devotionals - "Chest Like Expansive Wings" When Devotionals, led by Tyson Vogel (Two Gallants) and Anton Patzner (Judgment Day), performed at Emily Jane White's record release show a few months back, I was struck by how the band's compositions channeled the players' prodigious talents into a moving, transcendent energy. "Chest Like Expansive Wings" is from their self-titled album, out earlier this week on Alive Records, and it showcases Vogel's fingerpicking and Patzner's violin intertwining vibrantly. Devotionals' album release show is Friday, August 6th at Bottom of the Hill (9pm, $10), with Kacey Johansing.
