Mike Dillon is a hardworking man of many hats. The songwriter, percussionist, vibraphonist and bandleader has a lengthy resume displaying a vast list of projects spanning genres of rock, punk, jazz, afro-funk and hip-hop. Dillon has played with Ani DiFranco, Karl Denson, Les Claypool, James Singleton and Ten Hands.

Brooklyn based band, SoftSpot, comprised of three musical friends with an ever aligning path along the creatively spiritual are revealing the fruits of their endeavors in a manner much like the unraveling of their songs.  Sarah Kinlaw, an operatically trained vocalist and bassist, brings a penetratingly honest presence into the live element that is terrifyingly contagious.  She and Bryan Keller have known each other since kindergarten and have grown together as artists throughout the years.

Going to a Trace Bundy show is like going to a family dinner that you actually want to be at. The first time I listened to Trace Bundy’s music was in college. A friend had a copy of his “Adapt” CD and I used to play it when I needed to relax. This was the 3rd time I have seen Trace perform.
