COVER LETTER

Cover Letter is back for Porchfest 2016! Clarinetist and Saxophonist Michael Sachs and bassist Aaron Darrell are friends from Berklee College of Music, where they both studied. Beyond Berklee, they continued to work together, touring, performing, and recording original music with the chamber-pop-free-jazz trio Matador. After Matador's drummer Jun Young Song moved home to Korea, Michael and Aaron continued to perform as a duo. The pair maintain a musical relationship despite geographical limitations; Michael lives in Brooklyn, and Aaron lives at 78 Pearson Ave. in Somerville. This year, we will be joined by drummer and musician Tom Wandell, a New York native.
