Sat 2/04 | Blame Sally - Sebastopol EASTON The 4-women who make up rising San Francisco-based Folk Band Blame Sally have some experience with improbable complexities & contradictions. Almost everything about the history of the group is contrary to conventional wisdom. For one thing, they put their individual careers aside to start the group when they were in their late 30s & 40s the age at which bands traditionally are supposed to break up & begin solo careers. For another, this is obviously an all-woman band "girl groups" usually being the province of youthful upstarts, not mature singer-songwriters. Splitting the front-woman status among each of the 4 members goes against the agreed-upon maxim that every group needs a single focal point. Premium: $23, General Advance: $18, General Door: $20. Show: 8pm. Sebastopol Community Cultural Center 390 Morris Street, Sebastopol (707) 823-1511 Click here for details |
