Who influenced you? 
For my current mood, I would have to say Nina Simone...There is no better time than now to reflect your community and your society and be responsive. You have a duty as an artist, as a creative, to influence, take charge and be vocal.

Castle of our Skins is one of two ensembles chosen by the City of Boston to participate in the new Alternative Space Pilot Program. The program, launched by Boston Creates, is a new initiative to pair local businesses with musicians by offering free use of rehearsal space. Learn more about the program on the WBUR's The Artery press report and WBZ's radio interview, both or which features Castle of our Skins!

~Liane Curtis, critic
