Though you may connect Half Access to Luciano Ferrara & The Ensuing Disaster through the interview we did with them or through their participation in Access Live, today we’re excited to be premiering “Lavender & Honey,” the second single from their new EP. Accompanying the new song is a music video by Timeline Visuals. Their new EP, The Hidebehind, is out next Friday, November 15, was produced by A Will Away/Steadfast Studios.

Beginning as a solo artist, Luciano Ferrara spent the better part of eight years releasing music as an acoustic songwriter. Now, with The Ensuing Disaster, Ferrara has transitioned to full band, combining his unique style with the skills of other talented musicians to bring a new breed of folk rock to the modern music community. Adding a new dynamic to the high energy performances Ferrara is known for, The Ensuing Disaster is an enigmatic experience that can be enjoyed by all.
When talking about the new song, Ferrara explains:
“Lavender & Honey was the first song I wrote for this EP, and it’s got a super special place in my heart. After kind of forfeiting my familiarity, I found myself in unfamiliar territory, wanting something so badly that I ignored how it was hurting me. In the end, I had to learn that comfort is intrinsic, and if you’re not cool with yourself, you can’t make anyone else be: ‘I can’t control you, but you can’t console me.'”

Announcing Our Summer Panel Series
Half Access is so excited to announce that we’re hosting a virtual summer panel series this year!! From The Crowd To The Stage: A Look At Accessibility In The Music Industry will take place the last Saturday of June, July, and August at 11am PST and cover a wide range of issues. This conversation is especially important for us to have as COVID-19 restrictions begin to lift and we see concerts coming back in the late summer and early fall. It’s crucial to keep accessibility to live music venues at the front of our minds to make sure everyone can safely enjoy their first show back.
Arena Accessibility Needs Improvement
In comparison to smaller clubs and theaters, arenas are often leading the way when it comes to accessibility. It’s often easier to find detailed accessibility information on their websites, and accessible seating options are almost always available at the point of purchase. Arenas also do a better job of accommodating as many disabilities as possible. That being said, arena accessibility is not without its flaws.
