Amber @ Amoeba

So in November I did an in-store performance at Ameoba Music store in San Francisco with Sixto Rodriguez before headlining at The Great American Music Hall. These were some photos from the preview show.

This was a super fun show, playing in killer band as the only woman in an eleven piece band backing a blind folk singer from Detroit who was drunk and high most of the time. I'm going on tour with the dude for a weekend this summer. what fun. Rolling Stone has been writing about him lately, pumping the tour. He was quoted as saying that we "cleaned up well". You tell me.

MONDAY AT THE MAKEOUT ROOM

This Monday, 4/13 from 9-11pm, is our monthly night to take performance improvisation to the Make Out Room! Come watch dancers and musicians explore the art of improv in structured sets with some of the city's greatest performers. The coolest part is that its FREE. That's right, no cover.

Each set of improv is explained before hand so the performers and the audience get the same information as to what ideas, constraints and inspirations the artists are working with. Come see what dancers and musicians do if they don't discuss, plan or set a piece of work and have to create them spontaneously by watching, listening and sensing each other. Its beautiful and its not happening any where else in this city in a live venue!

This month's featured dancers are David Harvey, Janine Trinidad, Katie Scherman, Daniel Howerton, Leslie Schickle and Kara Davis. This month's featured musicians are Michael Bello on sax and drums, Marc Capelle on flugelhorn and melodicas, David Petrelli on the turntables, Amber Lamprecht on oboe and flute as well as Charith Premawardhana on viola. The last section of the night invites other dancers and musicians to join in so bring your axes, if you are feeling it.

The Make Out Room, 22nd Street between Mission and Valencia. FREE, 9-11pm
