This latest installment of the Scott McMicken and THE EVER-EXPANDING band features a new group of musicians from Asheville NC. It is a highly collaborative project designed to lean into the freedom of improvisation and expression. This album, "When It's Happening", was recorded as one long performance in order to keep the focus on the bigger picture and to not get lost in the details. The result is a warm-flowing ride through a number of musical landscapes.
