It’s been a long time since I attended three concerts on three consecutive nights, all the more so when those nights weren’t all part of a single festival. I broke the pandemic-era spell this weekend here in San Francisco, characteristically masked, and caught Loraine James at Thee Parkside, then the final night of Naut Humon’s Recombinant Festival at Gray Area, and tonight Dan Burke (aka Illusion of Safety) and Thomas Dimuzio at the Center for New Music. For now, these photos will have to suffice, but I’ll be publishing proper reviews soon.
