Amee Chapman Cd release party
Jeffrey Luck Lucas
8:00 pm
FREE
"Chapman's songs and sound paint big sky backdrops on which she
casts the shadows of various folk in tender moments of melancholy
and hopefulness."
Milesofmusic.com
www.ameechapman.com
"Country noir that simultaneously evokes memories of Twin Peaks,
Johnny Cash, and Tom Waits. Whiskey-toned and drooping, like a
drenched wooly poncho hanging off a rugged, cigar smokin' cowboy to
wistful ballads that shuffle along with a nod to Townes Van Zandt to
perfect collisions of atmospheric swirl and growly, disillusioned,
sagging hope and memories left behind like roadkill. Lush expanses
and desolate emptiness have never had so much to talk about."

Octomutt
Neighborly Deeds
early Monday show 8:00!
FREE
"OCTOMUTT are Ted Savarese and Ashley Adams and they weave
meandering guitars and slinking loops with an easygoing anchor of
standup bass. There's a definite down home, earthy feel to
Octomutt's music -- seeming very casual and off the cuff -- however
an occasional detour into more trippy, eccentric territory is
certainly not out of the question."
Aquarius Records
www.octomutt.com
Kate Maher and Kurt Stevenson compose croon and pick guitars in the
NEIGHBORLY DEEDS, a San Francisco folk troupe that never quite made
it out of the mission. At the Rite Spot they will keep it to a dull
roar with some originals and some old favorite standards.

Brandi Shearer CD release party
with Julie Zielinski
8:00 pm
$5.00
Born and raised in rural Oregon, Brandi Shearer has been receiving
critical acclaim for her innovative songwriting and haunting vocals
since the release of her first record, Museum. Combining the best
elements of blues, jazz, funk & folk, she pioneers her own
special brand of American music while simultaneously preserving the
heart of tradition.
www.brandishearer.com
Julie Zielinski is best known as the melodic songstress from San
Francisco's indie popsters, staci twigg.
She's been compared to artists ranging from Chan Marshall to
Johnette Napolitano because of her unique ability to dynamically
voice her songs from whisper-loud to an energetic frenzy.

Toshio Hirano
Toshio was born in Tokyo in the 1950's. Postwar Japan embraced
everything American, including American popular music. As a teenager
he became interested in bluegrass and country music. One of his
first loves was the great John Duffy and The Country Gentleman. He
later became inspired by the Mississippi legend, Jimmie Rodgers.
Toshio learned to play banjo, guitar and mandolin and started a
family band with his brother and cousin, called The Sunny Bluegrass
Boys. He continued playing music through college and then emigrated
to the USA to pursue his love of this music. He has lived in
Atlanta, Nashville, Minneapolis and Austin, Texas. San Francisco has
been his home since 1986 and he plays regularly in cafes and bars
around town. The deep romantic nature of country music, its' tales
of trains and cowboys and broken hearts continues to sustain
Toshio's imagination and art.
