Escape 10 joins us for this episode.  Made of Annie Stevens and Andrea Venet, the duo has made a name for themselves as commissioners, performers, and presenters of new keyboard-centric percussion duos.  Their first tour was in 2011, and since they have released an album, recorded another, and performed in Showcase Concert at PASIC 2016.
