alyssa kai, Christian Holden (of the Hotelier), Lady Queen Paradise

After a decade of quiet, DIY legend alyssa kai returns with her new album GATHERINGDUST full of brilliantly polished songwriting about disability, chronic illness, resentment, and love. Once a touring musician performing in the likes of Loone, Mal Blum, and Ramshackle Glory, the multi-instrumentalist settled down for the daily battle with fibromyalgia and ME/CFS. The fruits of her labor, her sense of humor, and her commanding stage presence return to Last Ditch in Greenfield alongside two dear friends: Lady Queen Paradise, an icon among the valley, returns from the west coast for a rare appearance featuring their theatrical, experimental songwriting; meanwhile Christian Holden, frontperson of the Hotelier, will perform their lauded and intricate tunes in a stripped-down acoustic fashion.
