It is based on proven techniques taken from neuroscience, sports psychology, cognitive science, and the psychology of music that will be synthesized in a way that is much more interesting than the boring way that it is being described here.

Horse Feathers

Friday, April 30, 2010, 8:00 p.m., Cafe 939 [Map]

Born and raised in Idaho, Justin Ringle has a natural affinity with the West. Its space, beauty, and nonconformity seem to be reflected in the music of his band, Horse Feathers. In Ringle's hands, the literal meaning of this expression comes to life: two things that can't possibly exist together are spun into a gossamer delicacy of music shot through with lyrical weight. The band's most recent album, Thistled Spring, is an album of rebirth.
