Join Curt Oren and Nora Petran in celebrating the release of their split 12" vinyl record, 2%, in the relaxed and comfortable settings of Trumpet Blossom Cafe!!! 

Recorded live in Maquoketa Caves State Park using only the natural acoustics of the cave for effects, Curt Oren and Nora Petran's 2% perfectly captures the organic beauty of their music while revealing the hidden magic of the natural world. 

Curt Oren is a solo saxophonist who uses circular breathing, electronics, and a wide array of instruments to create emotion driven sound environments that remain firmly grounded in songwriting.
