Born to Play: Live Acoustic Performances in 700+ Gap Stores
On August 20, 2009, every Gap store in the U.S. and Canada will host an exclusive, live acoustic music night to celebrate Gap’s 40 years of heritage in jeans and music. They're calling it "the largest-ever simultaneous live acoustic music event." I've been selected to perform at the Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco (a mall near SFSU).  Come hear me play amongst faded jeans and v-neck sweaters!

I'll also raffle off 4 FREE CDs to celebrate Gap's 4 decades of existence! Gotta show up to enter the drawing though :)

Songwriters in the Round
... and what AMAZING songwriters I'll share the stage with. Vanessa Torres is an amazing lesbian songwriter who mixes politics, feelings, and old-time folk into an energetic burst of song. Anna Maria Tocci is one of my all-time favourite songwriters (and best friends!) whose music and soulful voice make me melt.  She also owns the venue, which I saw her manifest from idea to vision to reality. I'm so proud of her, and so excited to be "finding my way home" to the North Star.
