Kaohsiung in Southern Taiwan is known for its easy lifestyle and seaside charm. This group of musicians, Shallow Levee, bring that gentle temperament to their music.

Sun, Sept 30: Gabrielle @ Musibase Bar
Autumn is approaching and what better way to remind yourself that, outside of the humid soup that is Guangdong, seasons actually do exist in the rest of the world by catching some misty, rain-soaked folk music.
