Gutter Swan
Americana duo Gutter Swan emerged onto the San Francisco music scene in 2015, featuring the powerful, emotive vocals of Loryn Barbeau, and the disarming yet complex guitar of Steve Egelman.
Steve is veteran of numerous Bay Area bands, and a singer-songwriter in his own right. He cut his teeth in Thin Lizzy and UFO cover bands, and also plays in the whiskey-soaked blues ensemble, Mad Mama and The Bona Fide Few, and The North Beach Ramblers.
A native San Franciscan, Loryn began her vocal life as a classical singer, eventually graduating with a Masters of Music in Operatic Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Loryn works as holistic vocal and performance coach in San Francisco.
Steve and Loryn bonded over a love of acoustic music, whiskey and punctuality, and thus Gutter Swan was born.
In 2019, Gutter Swan released their debut album, "where the dark and the light mingle", featuring 12 songs, near and dear to their hearts.
Like a number of artists, Gutter Swan saw their creative efforts stymied by the pandemic. The October 14th show at The Lost Church in San Francisco is their first live performance in over 2 years.

Avi Vinocur (of Goodnight, Texas)
Avi Vinocur is a San Francisco singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer whose music roams the United States, spanning time zones and topographies, and arrives just when you need it most: a tune suddenly coming through clear over the radio during a long drive in the middle of nowhere. With a talent for crafting vivid, three-dimensional narrators and slice-of-life tales set in forgotten places, Vinocur has made a name for himself as a songwriter's songwriter: a modern musician with an old soul's gift for storytelling.
A versatile performer and nearly lifelong guitarist -- at age 15, obsessed with Jimi Hendrix, he sold his Magic cards to buy a Fender Stratocaster -- Vinocur is best known for his work as a co-frontman of the acclaimed Americana band Goodnight, Texas; for his poignant blues-folk solo records; and, increasingly over the past two years, as an occasional collaborator and live background vocalist/mandolin player for Metallica. (His songs have also made appearances in places like the opening credits to Tiger King, the Academy Award-winning documentary Free Solo, Coors commercials, and Major League Baseball games. Vinocur has performed the National Anthem before the first pitch three times.)
Hindsight, Vinocur's third full-length solo record, was released February 12, 2021. Written in the months after the pandemic shuttered the live music industry, it finds the songwriter staring down a year without a tour, adjusting to a life of staying put -- and letting his imagination out to run. On Hindsight, Vinocur drops in on various lovers, castaways and vagabonds, then brings them to life through quiet moments and lonely spaces, effortlessly weaving together the personal, the historical and the fictional. The listener is transported instantly: A wooden house haunted by broken promises; a rusted truckbed covered in frost; morning light hitting empty beer bottles on the bedside table in a cheap motel. Elsewhere, Vinocur draws inspiration from John Prine and Justin Townes Earle, two venerable songwriters taken too soon in the tumult of 2020.
Recorded entirely on Vinocur's iPhone in his apartment in San Francisco's Sunset District, Hindsight echoes the intimate, demo-type sound of records by the Mountain Goats, Field Medic, or Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. It also feels a bit like rediscovering a cassette mixtape from a friend in an old glove compartment. All told, it captures the year that was -- raw with anger and loss, determination and hope -- and adds the quiet comfort of shared solitude: a message in a bottle, a voice through the static, a passed note from a songwriter's quarantined living room to yours.
