By now you should be quite familiar with the gorgeous sounds of The Portland Cello Project, so it’s no surprise to you that this ensemble has a new record on the way. Out today courtesy of Kill Rock Stars, The Thao And Justin Power Sessions is the finest work of the PCP, as it balances their swelling arrangements with a pair of talented voices: Local gent Justin Power, and Thao Nguyen (Thao & The Get Down, Stay Down).

They are throwing a “CD Release Extravaganza” at the Aladdin Theater this Friday night, and we want you and a guest to go for free. Strut on over to End Hits for your chance to win. Good luck.
