El Paso had a treat from electro funk legends Chromeo and synthwave masters The Midnight, with them was Ruth Radelet, best known for her work with electronic band Chromatics. Each band brought their version of music to the Lowbrow Palace for a great night outside watching the lunar eclipse and listening to some great tunes.

Her soft angelic voice captures your heart and you begin to sway with the music, Bring us songs from her past and present. After she performed, I had a chance to talk with her, she is the sweetest and caring person, making sure that her fans know she cares about them. I was honored to be asked to use her friend’s phone to take a picture of the two of them in the club. I am ordering her album as soon as I get paid.
