Yerba Buena Gardens Festival Presents CAAMFest: Directions in Sound with Zhao
at Yerba Buena Gardens
(1:00pm-3:30pm)
Directions in Sound, CAAMFest's fresh music showcase, returns once more to the SOMA Pilipinas Filipino Heritage District for a renewed collaboration with the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival. Taking over the stage is Thao Nguyen aka Thao--San Francisco's own artist, songwriter, touring musician and producer originally from Northern Virginia. Thao has also been the subject of Nobody Dies, a CAAM-funded documentary exploring her first trip to Vietnam as the daughter of refugees who fled during the war.
With an extensive and vibrant career in music, Thao has released music via legendary labels Kill Rock Stars, Domino Record Co. and Ribbon Music. A guitarist and songwriter, she has been featured by The New York Times, NPR, Austin City Limits, Pitchfork, Washington Post and many more. Featured in NPR's Tiny Desk (Home) Concert in 2020, Thao's genre-bending sound has flavor notes of country, folk, blues and pop yet made unique by her own style and lived experience.
Directions in Sound is a partnership with the Center for Asian American Media and its annual celebration of Asian American storytelling, CAAMFest, taking place May 9-19.
Co-presented with Center for Asian American Media.
