Seth Avett and Jessica Lea Mayfield - Twilight
The first song of the night was Twilight by Elliot Smith, done by Seth Avett and Jessica Lea Mayfield. This song has been top of the playlist for the last week or so for both of us!

Big Sean - Harder Than My Demons
Detroit 2 is the newest album from Big Sean. It's amazing, and the stories from people like Dave Chappelle are inspiring as well!

What can I say, one of the best and hardest working groups out there, The Roots defy expectations, and never cease to amaze.

So we shut the fuck up sometimes and listen to me...

Doesn't get much better than Ben with Charlie.

It's 80's night!! I definitely don't ever want to go to a room where the light will not find me.
Down Like Silver - Broken Coastline
Heard this for the first time on the show Money Heist, and fell in love with it.
In closing...
26 songs overall, and what a great night! Started at about 9pm, finished at 4am. Crazy night, and definitely a great memory. I think I will sign off with a song that defines our kick ass evenings together.
From Chris and Jeff, we hope you have the opportunity to have an East Bay Night with your friends every chance you get.
