Hour, Jason Calhoun and Lung Cycles at The Psychic Garden

By: Jadore Thomas and Erin Jones

The Psychic Garden is a mystical and welcoming non-for-profit venue located at an undisclosable location in Rochester. The illuminating decor and a friendly atmosphere of The Psychic Garden brings its shows to life. This was especially true on Feb. 19 when Philadelphia instrumentalist band Hour visited the ethereal venue during their Chilly Scenes of Winter tour. Hour, along with Lung Cycles and Jason Calhoun, used their music to create a magical experience for attendees.
