  • July 5th: Marin County Fair supporting Bread & Roses: 2:00-4:30pm

I’ve been volunteering with Bread & Roses Presents for a few years now and thoroughly resonate with the ethos and mission of the organization.

This will be my second year appearing on the B&R stage at the Marin County Fair and can say with conviction that this event is a hoot. Pig racing, local art shows, fireworks, carnival rides, smoked turkey legs and garlic fries….what’s not to love?

14th Ave East Meadow along JFK Promenade in Golden Gate Park

I am SO excited to make my Bawdy Storytelling debut. I will be following in the footsteps of local greats such as Rachel Lark, Jefferson Bergey, Amber Lee Baker, and Dan Savage. Hope I don’t fuck it up!

I’ll be appearing as the musical guest with a new song or two and a bunch of salty brass. Please make plans to spend an evening with me and Dixie and a group of regular folks with sparkly stories to share.

Bawdy Storytelling is an Award-winning Podcast, Livestream and (14 years strong!) Live stage performance series that features True Stories of S3x, K1nk & Gender.. Storytellers are an eclectic mix of authors, poets, comedians and actors — along with real people just like you who have submitted their stories online, and were chosen for their panache and sense of misadventure.
Bawdy Storytelling has been featured on such notable Best Of lists as Oprah Magazine, Mashable, Forbes, Esquire, GQ Magazine, Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Buzzfeed & many more, and has been lauded for its transformational, relatable, empowering performance.

SONGWRITER SHOWCASE

Every first and third Thursday, I invite a singer-songwriter from the Bay Area to swap songs and stories with me. We share some original songs as well as a few choice covers to shine a light on what makes the Bay Area so singable. 

My guest for the Songwriter Showcase is Alex Walsh

Singer-songwriter Alex Walsh has been a musical mainstay in the Bay Area for over 3 decades, known for his unique blend of folk rock and indie pop. Alex has captivated a diverse and growing global fanbase through over 10 records and 20 singles to date — collaborating with Grammy-winning engineers, playing at local institutions, and singing truth to power at 20,000 person protests on the Capitol’s steps along the way. Never losing momentum, Alex is currently hard at work on his next album while also preparing for a slew of upcoming gigs.

Amber Lee Baker Joins me for an evening with Auntie Emberly, our new(ish) duo!

Her style has been described as Folk Cabaret and Bawdy Singer-songwriter. A little bit show-tune, a little bit blues, and a little bit folky rock-n-roll – and a whole lot of soulful fun!

Together with Amber, I get to have a whole lot of harmonious, hilarious, and sometimes meditative fun. Join us for a night of whatever the fuck we can bring!

AMERICANO SOCIAL CLUB

The Americano Social Club plays music for “la dolce vita”: a mix of romantic and eclectic melodies from all over the world. At our performances you might hear Pop, Jazz or Folk, Classical, Rock, or Opera, the music of Brazil or of Europe’s cafés, (not to mention some of our own dramatic original pieces); and all of it re-imagined so you will hear the melodies you love (or didn’t know you loved) like new again.  

  • EVERY WEDNESDAY At BLUSH! Wine Bar! Yes, EVERY Wednesday, The Americano Social Club serenades the Castro District with all of the weird, woeful, and wonderful melodies they can scavenge from all over the world. You will leave feeling connected. Or weirded out. Either way, you’ll be entertained. What have you got to lose?
