>> ABOUT UNDERGROUND SOUND:
When's the last time a new music series opened in San Francisco in a theater and devoted to popular music? And rock. And World music and classical music, individuals, ensembles, acoustic, electric--though mostly accoustic cause it's a 49 seat theater. That's another thing that's important. The theater is intimate. Even if you're in the last row (which would be row 5), you're close to the performers.

Count on line-ups that are eclectic. It's within the realm of possibility that the producers might program one of San Francisco's brightest new singer/songwriter's and let's say Tuvan Throat singers. No that's too mainstream. A Balkan Brass Band. Well, that was the line-up for show #1 (not the Throat singers, the Balkan Band.) Show #2 featured the Kurt Weill Project. This performance we have turned over to three singer/songwriters who have begun to make a name for themselves.
