Sunday’s Kiss The Sky had many highlights. Manganaro’s headline set was powerful, drawing on q’s of identity, language, place, connection. They’re touring venues across the country with their debut pamphlet ‘This Is Where I’m From’.

We’ve got a great eve lined up for Mar! 📸 @mrirwin.bsky.social

Cheers @citizen-chris.bsky.social for the mention! Fun night at Kiss the Sky 😘🌌
