Back in the day (which, for our purposes, means the late 1990s) when Petal would drive from Seattle or Portland down the Pacific coast to play shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Ken’s mother’s house was the Bay Area Petal HQ. Laura was always a gracious host, so when she asked us to come down to play her annual Labor Day party we were happy to do it.
Bonus: There’s nothing like a backyard audience full of friends and family to make a performer feel like a million bucks.
