Hey fam, today we’re introducing the local team that runs everything at Do604. Heather is a concert photographer and cat lover, Clare is a musician who’s obsessed with astrology, and Dave is music lover and recovering fishing addict. We’re going to be infusing a little more of our personality and experiences into this newsletter and we also want to share more of YOUR stories too!

We’re starting a Local Spotlight series where you can share just about anything. Best local bands, how to WreckBeach, best bathrooms, local spots people sleep on, or a hot take on the city. If you want to share your story you can email Clare at [email protected] with the subject line “Local Spotlight”.

Without further ado, here’s our first giveaway of the day. Delhi 2 Dublin brilliantly fuses Bhangra and Celtic music, pioneering what they call “Subcontinental Pop”. Win a pair of tickets to celebrate their 20th anniversary at Surrey Arts Centre on 3/28!*
