We Are The Willows
<p>We Are The Willows at CSPS Hall on Saturday, October 7, 2023 @ 8PM.</p><p><br></p><p>We Are The Willows is the project of Minneapolis based singer/songwriter/producer Peter M. His unique countertenor voice is often supported by Jeremiah Sattarthwaite (guitar), Travis Collins (bass/voice), Hilary James (cello/voice), and Josh McKay (drums). Whether as a band or a solo artist, We Are The Willows crafts dynamic songs with contemplative air. The songs cover a lot of conceptual ground: from family history to modern social life and personal identity. In the summer of 2020, the band released their third full length record: <em>Who We Are & Where We Are Now</em>. This album finds the band with more clarity, consideration, and sense of self. These songs are about processing depression, anxiety, the nature of love, and identity. This album is a testament to getting better for the people and things you love. It's an acceptance that there is no arrival point, there's only who we are & where we are now.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a General Admission seated show held in the theater of CSPS Hall.
