Two Piece Tuesdays present Queer Sessions

The 1st Tuesday of every month is Queer Sessions, a celebration of local and live performers, Taropy with Miss Ginger and bar treats with Victoria Victrola. Music starts at 8pm. There is no cover and much magic.

Feature: Julie Indelicato and Willa Mamet

Julie Indelicato has a cult following in her native San Francisco. With a voice that runs with the best of them—part Ella Fitzgerald, part Amanda Palmer, Julie is unlike anyone in today’s spotlight. She breathes an intoxicatingly delicate life into the songs she chooses: mostly obscure and flattering covers that illustrate her stripped-down acoustic melodies and a vocal range that could shake the dust off the highest chandelier of a burlesque parlor and make it dance, tantalizing the hair of your inner ear. Julie brings a musical theatre air to each performance, often charming the audience so that one feels as if they’ve known her forever—or wants to start now. She was also the host of Garden Sessions which inspired the very idea of this night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhss5JNJQzw

Willa Mamet tried to major in music at school, it was just too far from the kitchen table. Too many rules, not enough Home. So mostly that’s how she sings. She grew up making music with her family and community. Willa makes her home in Oakland, CA. http://www.kitchen-table-music.com/music-1/

Briget Boyle ~ A singer-songwriter and guitar player based in Oakland, CA. With training in fields as diverse as Balkan folk singing, African drum and dance, Swedish massage, and theatre tech, Briget is an engaging and complex performer who brings a lifetime of discovery and struggle to her music. http://www.brigetboyle.com/

She’s so amazing that I also reviewed her last album. https://medium.com/freelance-writer-archives/the-parts-interior-a-review-29702061c0ca#.bvcm6msbm

Elliott Geneste de Besme ~ Elliott has been arousing crowds since 2000 with his signature blend of spoken-word poetry and improvised song. He has shared tickets with Athens Boys Choir, Stainless Steele (formerly of Diggable Planets), and his claim to fame is when he headlined for Michael Moore at a peace rally in Detroit, MI, in Spring of 2002.
