For more than a decade now, Roger Thomas Lanfranchi has been a steady thread woven into so many patches of the Bay area\u2019s indie music scene.<\/p>\n

The composer, guitarist, producer and drummer is always happy to back Bay area heavyweights like Queen of Ex, and takes a step into the spotlight for this release show. <\/p>\n

Foreveryung (stylized all-caps) is a straight up celebration of the joy that rhythm can bring to our lives. Over 11-tracks, it showcases Lanfranchi\u2019s production chops, propelled by a sense of timing that feels technical and immensely human at the same time. There are Alan Watts samples on the record, guitars reminiscent of Lanfranchi\u2019s virtuosic Ophelia project, plus saxophone from Tony Mozz.<\/p>\n

Because you get what you give, Rogerthomas is surrounded by the best the local scene has to offer for this gig where harp-drum combo Katara and producer Beauxmonk play support. Luke Schneider\u2014the Nashville-based pedal steel player who\u2019s collaborated with Margo Price, Orville Peck, S.G. Goodman, and William Tyler\u2014rounds out a bill that is easily the best collection of homegrown talent this week.<\/p>\n
