Hi! This is an update of a bunch of good shows coming up (see list below), and a reminder about
Tonight!!
Tuesday January 25th
SeaweedSway Presents:
SeaweedSway Presents:
SONYA COTTON
HONEYCOMB
EVER ISLES
~at the Rickshaw Stop~
This is a very special show, and it's an honor for SeaweedSway to present it. Sonya Cotton, Honeycomb, and Ever Isles' music in combination will be profound. Sonya's music, through beautifully woven harmonies, brings appreciation for who and what we have in our lives now, and evokes the memories and remembrance of those we have lost. Honeycomb and Ever Isles sounds are soothing, grooving, soulful, and incredible. You're in for a treat with this one.
Some special additions to the show: We will be selling hand-harvested seaweed and if you still need a calendar/planner for 2011, great! You can buy one at the show! The SF Poor Bastard's Almanac and Weekly Organizer will be available for $8 ($7 if you buy something from the bands too). It has all sorts of neat locally relevant info - free museum days, open mics, meteor showers, fair trade coffee shops, last BART times, moon phases, pesticide levels of common produce, which anti-gay companies to boycott, supervisor's contact info, ukulele and guitar fretboard and chords, MUNI OWL map, etc. We are likely going to offer mini acupressure sessions for people between sets as well.
Address: 155 Fell St. @ Van Ness (near Market St.)

http://sonyacotton.com/
Labeled "The Frida Khalo of songwriting," Sonya's compositions are deeply personal, drawing upon her dreams, family, and love; they often come from a place of profound reverence for the natural world and the creatures of the earth.
"Sonya Maria Cotton ... is a really damn fine singer." --Pitchfork

Kath Bloom (Ct), Kacey Johansing, This Frontier Needs Heroes (NY), LeviStrom
Where: The Tower 3435 cesar chavez (between mission and valencia) through the gate!
Description: Kath Bloom is an American singer-songwriter based in Connecticut. Kath is some kind of legend. She comes from a special place where country, blues and folk are made beautifully translucent and emotive. She has a special gift - her almost supernaturally beautiful, wavering soprano is one that has to be heard, with a clear transparent moonlight quality that silences a room. Her songs will burn a hole straight to your soul. Her music has been featured in Richard Linklater’s film Before Sunrise and was honored on a tribute album featuring Devendra Banhart, Bill Callahan, and Mark Kozelek. In 2010, her album Thin Thin Line was released on Mark Kozelek’s label Caldo Verde Records. Since it’s release, Kath has toured all over the US and Europe including a performance at the End of the Road Festival in England.
“Bloom sounds like a woman who has spent years in the wilderness... An earthy, unpretentious presence, she can snap a heart like a twig” -Pitchfork
“One of the most beautiful singers ever. Heartbreaking.” -Devendra Banhart
Devastating songwriting.” -NPR

PANCAKE BREAKFAST / MIKE MIDLO
Pancake Breakfast is a nine-member roots machine from Portland, Oregon. Most of these songs were made-up on a little farm, far away from the big city. Mike Midlo wrote them. He tested each one by singing it to the dog and chickens before playing it for the band. That seemed to work out pretty well. The members of Pancake Breakfast like to have a good time. You can hear that on their debut full-length record. Sometimes they holler and make loud noises. You can hear that on the record, too! All the tracks were recorded by Mike Coykendall (She and Him, Blitzen Trapper, M. Ward) in a comfy house near a dormant volcano.
