Libby's Blog:

First, I'd just like to send a big THANK YOU to all of you who came out to the Laurelthirst show and helped make it such a success! We had a really great time playing that evening and it was so nice to look out into a room packed with familiar faces. As I mentioned before, we just love that venue and we really look forward to playing there again soon.

And...
We are truly grateful to have the opportunity to perform in honor of Kipp Crawford this Friday at McMenamins St. John's Theater. As many of you know, on November 4, 2009 fractal's drummer, Kipp Crawford, was killed in a car-bicycle accident in north Portland. Kipp was a dear friend and a fantastic, creative musician who inspired all of us in his musical community. Our hearts remain broken and our lives forever changed. Please join us in remembering Kipp on this second anniversary of his tragic death. The evening will feature performances by many of Kipp's bandmates in celebration of Kipp's life and his many contributions to ours.

Fractal's Bio:

Fractal Quintet, from Portland, Oregon, is led by guitarist/vocalist/composer Libby Roach. Drawing on influences from jazz, early fusion, Brazilian samba, and Drum'n'Bass, Libby's writing is creative, forward-thinking, and musical.
 
“Libby’s exceptional composing skills coupled with her unique guitar playing style makes her band “Fractal” sound totally original. The African and Brazilian influenced rhythms are very accessible.”
