Join Poundcake Punk DJ Maggie and Music Director Sid for another Local/Live session with Mike Mangione.
Blood & Water is the title and theme of his latest record. “All things of significance and value in our lives require a certain level of sacrifice,” Mangione explains. “’We often run from sacrifice and rarely talk about it as being valuable but it is the gatekeeper to most things that lead to a fulfilling life. We should learn to embrace and celebrate sacrifice as a necessary labor to the fruit of our lives. This record reflects on that reality in songs like “Anastasia,” “The Turnabout,” “Love Ain’t No Easy Thing,” “Against the Grain” and more. The blood signifies the sacrifice, an open wound, pain and the giving of self. The water represents cleansing, rebirth, growth, life and becoming anew.’”
