I've heard mumblings about the Portland Cello Project since before I even moved to Portland. I didn't pay too much attention. Besides the fact that I'm a huge music fan, I've never gotten into classical or instrumental music. I respect it and I think it's beautiful, but it's rare I would ever start listening to this genre.
But, then on a whim (I am unemployed, you know), I started to do a little research on these guys. And, my mind was blown. I seriously can not wait until I can see them live and I purchased their album.
I have so much insane happy love for my new city and the fact that this exists here just adds to the giant hug I want to give Portland every single day.
