Healing Force of the Universe, Pasadena
Musician and producer **Eric Gabriel** released his first album *"Samara"* in March 2025. Once generously described as somewhere between Willie Nelson and Bootsy Collins, the album is at times groovy, at times introspective, and pulls from a song-storytelling tradition. It was recorded almost entirely live with the thoughtful direction of producer Philip Weinrobe (Adrienne Lenker, Florist) and collaboration of many incredible Brooklyn friends and musicians. Though his first solo release, Gabriel was also the cofounder and bandleader of Melt from 2017-25 through North America headline tours and support slots with artists such as Grouplove and Lawrence. Doors at 8 PM $15 adv + DICE fees / $20 at the door ($11.25 for Initiate members, $7.50 for Sponsor members, $0 +1 for Patron members, www.healingforcerecords.com/memberships)
