I am participating in a writing fellowship to improve my writing skills and every week we start out the session by sharing a fun fact. This week, the subject to guide the fun fact discussion was music. I shared that my cousin is in a band, Kingsborough, and that he recently brought his talents to Europe on tour.

One of the recommendations from the program is to write frequently as a way to practice writing. So I’m trying to post on this website more often, even if it’s just a short paragraph or caption. Hence this post.

I’ll use this week’s fun fact topic as an opportunity to give a plug for my cousin Alex – Guitarist/Vocalist. As I noted, above Kingsborough just finished their tour of Europe a few months ago, but they were formed in the San Francisco Bay Area. When I make my way home, I usually try to make it to a show if they’re performing. A couple of my favorite venues to catch them at are HopMonk Tavern in Sebastopol and Laguintas Petaluma Taproom, the latter is walk-able from home, sort of.

The point is, they’re a great band and I’m proud of my cousin for all they are accomplishing. I recommend checking them out!

Here’s a video about their recent tour in Europe that appears on their YouTube page:
