hi everyone~
we did it! somehow! made it to 2012. which i hear is a new era of peace, and that's how it's feeling already, so i'm convinced that's how it's going to be. also, happy national bird day! enjoy the sky & creatures in it. enjoy it all.
a gigantic THANK YOU to all who participated in the new years eve festivities at amnesia. we had a great time and hope you did too. wow. if that is any indication of how 2012 will go, we're off to a good start. any documentation via photos or videos would be appreciated. also, we're doing another round of t-shirt orders if you'd like one.
and - back at amnesia TONIGHT, for the first seaweedsway show of the new year!!!kicking it off!!! with folk-rockers, super harmonizers, lovely people, whose music all works really well together - a magic line-up of FOX & WOMAN, THE DRIFTWOOD SINGERS (from LA), & THE TRAVELING KIND (formerly uncle rebel, with members of family folk explosion)! you probably know by now, amnesia is at 853 valencia st. @ 20th, in the mission district of SF. close to BART! 8:30 doors, 9pm show, $7 (worth it)
please rsvp if you would be so kind: https://www.facebook.
here's the full rundown on each band, if you want it.
(if you're already convinced, scroll down for some more news & shows.)
FOX & WOMAN
Fox & Woman is a female fronted folk rock explosion. Very excited to feature them in this show; they wonderfully seeped into my life in 2011 & quickly became one of my new favorites in SF. Their live show continues to blow me away. The group consists of Jess Silva on ukulele and vocals, Emily Haltom on violin and vocals, Julie Indelicato on guitar and vocals, and Andrew Paul Nelson on Mandolin. Tonight they'll be joined by Will, who drummed on their EP, and just returned from England! They predict it'll be cold outside and HOT inside. The band formed around a street poetry scene in the Mission district and started writing songs walking home from bars.
Did you know? They just released a new EP! LISTEN TO IT here: http://www.foxwoman.
Additionally, their song "Break Into My Heart", is featured on the SeaweedSway Winter Mix, second to last song (download it for free): http://seaweedsway.band

THE DRIFTWOOD SINGERS
Los Angeles-based old-time folk duo. If you were at Amnesia on Tuesday for the Family Folk Explosion, you may have seen Pearl Charles of the Driftwood Singers up there singing with Matt Adams of The Blank Tapes. She's got an incredible voice, and combining forces with Kris Hutson's vocals, they've got it going on. The close harmony duo have toured extensively over the past two years behind a self-released EP and are recording their follow-up album with Grammy-nominated producer/musician David Mayfield (set for release early this year).
Traveling through, here's a video that gives a good idea of what they do: http://www.youtube.com/wat

“There’s something magical about The Driftwood Singers.”
- LA Record
“They pen originals, but upon listening, one might think it’s music that originated in Nashville in the ‘30s.”
- Sticky Magazine
“A true Americana sounding band and based out of Los Angeles! Fantastic male/female harmonizing throughout. Beautiful.”
- KZSU Stanford Radio
“…Both basic and complicated, ancient and hyper modern. It seems to say, “OK, so we’ve gone this far with rock and roll and everything, but what if we went the wrong way? Let’s look back and see if maybe we missed something.”
- The Point
THE TRAVELING KINDWe are happy to have them on the bill, you may recall their past incarnation as Uncle Rebel. Folk rock, but perhaps more on the rock side of things. You may also see some of them in the Family Folk Explosion, as they are all collaborators & conspirators in this Bay Area music community. Lucky to have them on board for what promises to be a great night of friends & music.
