this week there are two seaweedsway shows which are also conspiracy of venus performances, thursday in berkeley and sunday in sf. the choir has shifted a bit this year, and i feel like i've had to step it up a little and learn the songs more (ha. ah.), so i'm even more excited to be singing w/ the group. we are bringing back some old songs, and sharing some of the newer ones too. by leonard cohen, joni mitchell, tom waits, rufus wainwright, & even one by our director joyce todd mcbride herself. both nights will be holiday themed. if you're into that. would love to see you there!!

tuesday night w/ montana rose, WELL-WORN (ny/canada), & adam kirk @ amnesia. conspiracy of venus, ash reiter, foxtails brigade, jascha shows. winter mix coming soon!

hey everyone!
hope you all are well.

i added a last minute show tonight (tuesday) & wanted to let you all know... this newly formed duo, WELL-WORN, is touring through from Upstate, NY & Ontario, Canada, & features accordion, guitar, autoharp and drums. their album name, "Live Under the Sea", is fitting for a Seaweed Sway show! named so because they recorded in bandmember Matt's childhood bedroom, which is sponge painted in an "ocean-themed" blue-green color scheme. we like the ocean!!

Adam Kirk is opening the night, at 9:30, doors at 9. in Adam's words: "i used to play guitar for the beautiful Joan Baez, then i played guitar for the mystical Sean Hayes - how lucky i be! i'll be singing songs that i have written." excited to hear his tunes again!

Montana Rose!! you may know her from Conspiracy of Venus. lucky for us, she has her own songs too! her lyrics will snatch your attention as you find your head bobbing to melodies backed by Mandi (her mandolin). Always a treat when she is accompanied by local percussion talent, Rob Johnson.

special thanks to adam & montana for rallying to play with two days notice. :)

doors @ 9pm. adam plays at 9:30. $5-7. (after the weekly open mic, 7-9pm, which is FREE.) at amnesia music hall. hope to see you there!!!
