Shirly's Variety Show Extraordinaire!
AC and the Vega
AC & the Vega is folk and then some---lyrical and evocative of weather patterns and creature speak, moon phases and dark matter to soothe the soul and raise the spirits. Louis Vega muses on bass with Erik Gross on drums in collaboration with the songs of Anne Carol Mitchell.
Karen Penley
Karen Penley has made circuses. Circuses with dancers and singers (jeff wagner of the tunnel and tunnel of love) and actors (solomon landeman in hbo's boardwalk empire) and bands (20 minute loop) (bill horvitz) and animation (sean jones). She made two full odd circuses, Circus Proboscis: A Sneeze of Freaks and Not the More Lovely: A Circus Sideshow. Proboscis won a TBA Cash Grant and the SFBG said this of Not the More Lovely, "this glad, jagged-toothed mockery of human folly comes fast, fresh and unexpected." Now she's making her own one girl show, Feral Girl and Old Man. There is a circus in the middle of it. She is also working on a solo show being written by the great John Okeefe. And is joining an all boy pirate band, Boarding Party. karenpenley.com.
