Simone Schmidt from Fiver returns to discuss Fiver Trois presents Cleaning House, seeing a psychic who encouraged them to re-organize their living space and rid themself of belongings, how stuff can memorialize people who are gone, hoarding and archiving, losing and then re-gaining artistic metaphor, how life being a joke morphed into “That’s a Joke,” the gamification of everything we do, important and inspiring musical conversations with Jeremy Costello and Nathan Doucet, explaining why a quartet makes up the Fiver Trois, rediscovering your singing voice as a non-binary person, praising the band Townie, an invocation of Bob Dylan’s band sound in this century with a special nod to his "Frank Sinatra era" and the brilliant album Triplicate, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.
