I just received AMAZING news. A Late Cambrian song, “How I Bleed” just took the GRAND PRIZE 🏆 in the 2026 John Lennon Songwriting Contest Rock Category! They are huge supporters of independent songwriters and artists, it’s a true honor and privilege. I also saw that our song “Together” has placed as a finalist in the same contest. Totally insane, I don’t really even know what to say yet except thank you! This is really validating of my often non-linear and counter- intuitive journey as a songwriter. Check out the two songs and let’s see what happens next! Wow.

Thank you everyone for caring about human made art and music, as we are overrun by technocrat A.I. obsessives that wish to replace everyone with automatons because they were awkward in high school.

Everyone was awkward in high school… some of us turned to art and music to express ourselves and connect with other humans, and apparently some of us turn to machines and try to replace humanity. Late Cambrian loves you (robots can’t love) ❤️ #musiciansofinstagram #guitaristsofinstagram #livemusic

🌕MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL was my thanksgiving as a child living in Hong Kong. We’d have dinner around the giant round table with my parents, sister, grandparents, uncles, aunties and their friends. After moon cake and fruits (my grandpa was the designated fruit opener specialized in opening durians and cutting up star fruits vertically), we’d bring our lanterns, candles and tin cans to Victoria Park in Causeway Bay to meet up with our friends and play under the roundest moon of the year!

Since I moved to the US in 1999, the Mid-Autumn Fest ritual had been reduced to checking out the moon for a few seconds on my way home from the subway…until 4 years ago, when @fredhua @reetreel @supesbase and @saxofshaolin created @midautumnfest !!!

@latecambrian full band had been performing at the fest every year. This year, we are horses in the play “In The Beginning” by Rita and Fred, performing side by side @planetx.studios with the talented art family Landon, Cadence, Quynh, @hwei.music @mayudance157 and @andrewsunyan

I had such a blast at this 12-hour festival! Met interesting friends like @fromkanawithart @meticmusic @jianboforever @jennchanx and @ninetreasurescreamery 🥮🍄

We are starting our own tradition now.
