12PM: 3 piece local trio CEMENT SHIP. Cement Ship is an original band from the Monterey Bay area, formed in Santa Cruz, California in 2017 by singer/songwriter Tim Brady shortly before its namesake, the SS Palo Alto, was torn apart by heavy storm waves. The acoustic guitar style, singing tone and original songs from Tim seem to fit a wide array of crowds and genres, but maintains a natural and stripped down approach for the sound.  Honest and raw, sweet and smoky, dynamic like the sea.  The whole band includes Kai Hoornbeck on bass, Ryan Navaroli on sax, and Lars Anderson on cello.
