Musician and author Nick Jaina kicks off his residency at Fisch Haus this weekend with his Spektrum Tea Service performances. Billed as an evening of "color immersion, tea, conversation, and words," the performances allow audience members to enjoy conversation with friends and strangers, and hear Jaina play music and read from his recent book, Spektrum. But, Jaina recently told KMUW's Jedd Beaudoin, there's even more to it than that.
