SEAHORSES: Behind the Scenes

Magic happened in our kitchen last weekend.  After a long week of shooting and worrying about the health of our beloved cat, Emily Moore and Justin Huey, otherwise known as SEAHORSES, came into our lives.  They drove from Charlotte on a rainy Saturday and brought us good cheer, laughter, hope and a reminder why we started this Kitchen series in the first place:  good people playing simple, honest music in a small room.  Uncomplicated, genuine and deeply attached to each other and their music, SEAHORSES may be your new favorite band.   Lovely, lovely music, talent that runs deep, and a whole lot of experience despite their relatively few years on this earth, Justin and Emily are pros of the best kind.

Perhaps the most surprising and wonderful thing about doing this series has been that we’ve unexpectedly made new friends along the way.  After hours of music, trading cat stories and munching on Chinese take-out, we certainly felt that this was one of those lucky days.  And, we must admit, we’re convinced that their kind and encouraging words have helped Baffi Lungi.   Prepare for beauty, people….
