Dry Spells Record Release Party for Too Soon For Flowers!

Please join us next Thursday, August 6th at San Francisco’s Cafe Du Nord to celebrate the release of The Dry Spells‘ debut album, Too Soon For Flowers. Described by NPR as mixing “the rockier side of Fairport Convention with the folkier side of Fleetwood Mac…the perfect weekend wake-up music”, this album is a modern classic, equal parts traditional European folk and hard-edged psychedelic rock.

For this special show, The Dry Spells will be joined by friends Kelley Stoltz, Jessica Pratt, and AF’s own The Botticellis. Copies of Too Soon For Flowers will be available from the band, and you can pick one up there….or you can always order a copy from us here at Antenna Farm!
