An amazing array of overtones will fill the Live Room at El Rio in the Mission on July 23rd with a trio of singers in Midsummer Night’s Femme. The evening’s opener Being Lara Maykovich is followed by The Voodoo Cabaret and ends with headliner Leila Abdul-Raul to get your week vibrating deliciously.
The Afro-groovy mbira trio featuring the ethereal vocals of Lara Maykovich with Tim Renner on bass and John Reitan on drums is an emissary of love from the Pleiades on a mission to connect us to our divine souls through art and music. Links:
