The Cupcake Diaries On Friday July 16

obsessed — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 21:26:33 +0000

Antonette Goroch (AntonetteG) and Michele Kappel-Stone (Tippy Canoe) are both artists in their own right, but collaborate and tour as a duo they’ve dubbed, The Cupcake Diaries. Sister-like harmonies and a merry-go-round of guitar, ukulele, washboard and bass propel their roots-pop sound. Kappel-Stone plays the ukulele, guitar and washboard, while Goroch sticks mostly to guitar and this year they’ve toured several cities all over the country. Now they are heading to home turf with a Northern California tour.

This time around they will be hosting a friend from Washington, DC, Olivia Mancini and have offered to back her as a rhythm section, each playing the instruments they started out on. Kappel-Stone was a former drummer for the rock band, The Kirby Grips (Sympathy For The Record Industry) and Goroch was a bass player for Liesl’s Wet Dress (Rodent Records) and Amazon Mollies.

And you never know what you’re going to get from Olivia Mancini…You might have to bring your earplugs. Or you might be able hear a pin drop while Olivia and the gang perform their songs on acoustic guitars and kazoos. Either way, it’s the band that’s having the most fun.

Friday, July 16th, 8PM, at the 16th Street Cafe (formerly The Java Lounge): 2416 16th Street. Local artist Adrian Bourgeois is on the bill too.

Izabella At The Park And At Marilyn’s

obsessed — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 02:49:39 +0000

Izabella is fresh from a fierce performance at Bobolink Music Festival and heading back to Sacramento. They will perform for a full day of soul infused dance tunes on July 9th, beginning at the Concert in the Park and continuing the party at Marilyn’s on K. The Marilyn’s show begins at 9PM and tickets are available for $8 or $5 with a Park bracelet.

“Izabella, a continually evolving Northern California unit that oozes positivity anchored to serious chops and strong songwriting. Archetypically ‘jam band’ in nature, they encompass soul, rock, pop, and jazz as if all lived happily in one big bed.” –Jambase

About Izabella, from the press release:

Since its inception in Fall 2006, and after hitting the road full-time in 2008, Izabella has performed well over 250 gigs, including some key performances at summer festivals: High Sierra, 4 Peaks, Las Tortugas, Summer Meltdown, Oregon County Fair, and Bobolink. This solid tour schedule combined with an elevated level of stage and light production has helped Izabella garner various accolades, including the Jambands.com title, “New Groove of the Month” back in August 2008. In 2009, Izabella was nominated for the SAMMIEs (Sacramento Area Music Awards) and won Best of Sacramento, Editors’ Pick for Sacramento magazine.

Should be a fun show…
