Makin noise and teachin folks

✎ From Kai

Summer is hitting hard!

As usual I try to overreach and play everything everywhere. Since the 90s I’ve tried to explore any genre that seems interesting, and I often meld them and swap them out. This summer is no different. Prog, 70s, Paul Simon, rock are all happening in July and August. Thanks for being a part of it!

What’s Going On

Makin things happen

Summer Gigs Are On — Check the Calendar!

The outdoor season is officially here, and I’ve got shows lined up through August. If you’ve been meaning to catch Radio Rewind live, now’s the time — the energy at an open-air show is something else entirely. Full schedule at KaiStrandskov.com/calendar

The Buy4Get1 Referral Deal

Know someone who’s been thinking about drum lessons? Send them my way! After the first four lessons a referred student books, you get one free. It’s my ongoing thank-you for helping spread the word and building a vibrant community of pals. And I’ll toss a free lesson their way as well.

Summer Lesson Spots Still Open

I have a couple of openings for new students this summer — great time to start if you’ve been on the fence, or a great time to get a quick refresher if it’s been a while. Lessons are available in person or online. Reach out and let’s find a time that works.

Announcements

A few things I wanted to point dramatically at:

“Shaniko” – New Release from Michael Trew

The new release from Michael Trew just landed, and it features my drums. He and I have been jamming in a couple different projects and we’ve been discussing recording some ideas. I’m glad it came to fruition, and a few more are on the way as well. We have some shows coming up as Michael Trew with Psychic Cat, so keep your eye on the calendar if you want to hear more.    

Tours

A couple tours are coming up. I may be visiting your town! Read more below.

My Studio build has started

We just demo’d the drywall and old insulation in my basement, in prep for electrical and plumbing, then soundproofing! I’ll keep you updated as things progress. There’s a photo of it below.

Events

Come See Me Live

Here’s what’s on the horizon for July and into August. More in my calendar.

Feature Story

Cool thing of the month

Studio construction rumors are real. Here’s proof.

Mid-build and mid-summer — the future home studio is coming together.

By the Numbers

Here’s a fun snapshot of where things stand as I head deeper into summer.
