Vinyl Nights: “Practice Resurrection: A Soul Set” by DJ Brendon Hertz with Mabis
Join us for a special pop-up edition of Vinyl Nights with DJ Brendon Hertz and special guest, Mabis!
Hertz and Mabis will spin a set that brings together neo soul sounds with classics and rarities. Put together over the last two years, the setlist reflects a period of transition and takes inspiration from the last line of a well-known Wendell Berry poem—“Practice resurrection.”
Bios:
Brendon Hertz has reinvented himself as a teacher, a meat truck driver, and a technology writer over the last decade and a half. There’s been one constant since 2005—a growing soul music record collection.
Mabis spins to please, so expect to hear a tune or two that you adore. His vinyl obsession and wide-ranging collection wouldn’t be possible without Revival Records.
