Ranr, Ljubljana
An authentic young band from Maribor I’d never seen live, playing at the Ljubljana Castle Jazz Club? Sign me up. Sounded like a perfect Friday night—and it was. A charismatic front(wo)man, strong backing vocals, and a tight band throughout, Ranr exceeded my high expectations. Waiting on a full album! Gear used Sony A7III (ILCE-7M3) FE…
