Lots of very new or almost-new tunes in this week's edition of Breaking The Tethers. I liked pretty much everything equally so nothing specific to point out; check it all out.

This was my first show back after last week away. Thanks to Philip Barker for filling in for me on January 29.

Two shows for me next week: Breaking The Tethers on February 12 and a showfill for Morning Joy on February 14.
