CM Porterfield + Jake Manzi

About this show

21+ (see our FAQ) Jake Manzi has been on a journey, and he’s ready to tell you all about it. Raised in western MA and residing in Los Angeles, Jake’s unique brand of soft rock has earned him significant acclaim, sold-out hometown shows, and opening slots for Dawes, NRBQ, Ron Sexsmith, M. Ward, Lori McKenna, and more. After a decade of writing songs, making records, and touring across the country, Manzi presents his third full-length record, Getting Somewhere. Recorded mostly-live at Recorders in LA, it’s a confident, assured collection that meanders with purpose. Getting Somewhere sees Manzi at his best, roadtipping through eleven songs that start in nostalgia and end up landing firmly in the present. “When you go, the trouble begins,” he sings, heartsick, in the first track. By the end of the record, accompanied by whirling organ and distant, roomy-sounding drums, things have changed: “I’m finally waking up.”
