    Jens Kuross - Discovering True Artistic Motivation (#317)

    "For years, Jens Kuross operated in the shadows of the music industry—a talented session musician and songwriter in Los Angeles who eventually retreated to Idaho to become a cabinet maker, convinced that his personal music was destined to remain unheard. Sidelined by the scene and dropped by his management, Kuross believed his musical chapter was closed. The catalyst for his return, and the subsequent creation of his new album, ‘Crooked Songs’, was a serendipitous meeting in a Boise basement. There, Kuross opened for musician Hayden Pedigo, delivering a performance that struck Pedigo with immediate and profound emotional force. This pivotal moment led Pedigo to insist that Kuross capture that stripped-back, weighty, and sincere sound on record. The result is ‘Crooked Songs’, Kuross’s debut album for Woodsist. Co-produced by Pedigo, the album is a mysterious, warm, and deeply heart-stirring work. Kuross uses minimal instrumentation—primarily just his voice and electric piano, delicately enveloped by ambient synth—to enhance his minimalist approach. Tracks like the lead single, “Beggar’s Nation,” feel like the sound of an artist making music purely for himself for the first time. ‘Crooked Songs’ is more than an album; it’s a testament to rediscovery. It is a collection of heavy, beautiful, and magical songs that may just find listeners precisely when they need to hear them most." -by James Broscheid https://www.jenskuross.com/ Jens IG - https://www.instagram.com/jenskuross   E A S T   F O R E S T LIVE - https://eastforest.org/tickets Upcoming, 12-15 DEC Big Sur (retreat - sold out) 20 JAN London (low ticket alert) 23 JAN Dublin, IE 28 JAN Amsterdam, NL 01 FEB Zurich, CH 05 FEB Berlin, DE 13 AUG Snaefellsnes, IS TIX & INFO - https://eastforest.org/tickets FILM - watch Music For Mushrooms exclusively at https://musicformushrooms.com LEARN - Go deeper with the Journey Toolkit - learn, expand, and grow: https://explore.musicformushrooms.com/journeykit JOIN - sign up now at https://www.EastForest.org - never miss an event or private offering COMMUNITY - Please support by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon http://patreon.com/eastforest.  Monthly Council, live streams, demos, and more.

    Shane Mauss - Van life and filthy knees (#313)

    In 2016, Shane's interest in psychedelics led to a sold-out 111-city tour, documented in Psychonautics: A Comic's Exploration of Psychedelics. This evolved into a visually immersive comedy experience created with 20 artists and VJ Michael Strauss, launching as a residency at Area15 in Las Vegas in 2022, followed by a 170-city tour in 2023. His latest project, TRIPS, is a two-part psychedelic comedy special filmed at Meow Wolf—blending stand-up, immersive art, and science into one mind-expanding experience. https://www.shanemauss.com/ _______________________________________________ EAST FOREST - https://eastforest.org I can't wait to be on the road with you starting now!  Get your ticket now from Australia to the NE and Midwest of the US.
