Asked what he hopes his audience will hear in Traveling Wildfire, Flemons replies, I hope people will be able to hear the different phases of my life through the lyrics and feel the energy that fuels my creativity within the songs. The past few years for me have been a time of deep reflection and meditation. I hope that the album will light a fire of inspiration inside everyone who experiences it.PHOTO CREDIT:: Justinn French (New York Times) Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUEOr enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open.***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS***21+, minors admitted with guardian
