Sara's Birthday Backyard Concert-- Emily Zisman and Madeline Tasquin!
Well, our first backyard concert in this spring/summer series was a huge success, and now it's time for the second one, which just so happens to fall on my birthday! I can't think of a better way to celebrate than music and friends in my backyard, and maaaaybe a campfire afterwards. Hope to see you there!
The deets:
Doors to my backyard will open at 5:00pm on Saturday, June 14, and the music will start at 6:00. There will be two one-hour sets with a 15-30 minute break in between. Feel free to bring any snacks/drinks to share (or just for you!). Tickets are sliding scale, $20-40 (or more, if you really like to support artists!) and there may be some available at the door, too. I'll have some chairs and pillows set up, but feel free to bring anything else that will make you comfortable. Please be mindful and respectful of neighbors, and I can't wait to have you join as we bring together sweet community with sweet music!
Here's a little about our wonderful musicians, if you're not familiar, and you can check them out at their websites, too.
Emily Zisman https://www.emilyzisman.com/
Lyrical philosopher and storyteller of the contemporary human experience, Emily uses unabashed honesty and humor to punctuate the complexity of the entire escapade. Emily’s influences stem from all corners of the musical spectrum. However, her affinity for well-organized lyrics and carefully crafted melody bring her a sound reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Ani DiFranco, and Norah Jones.
Madeline Tasquin https://www.madelinetasquin.com/
Madeline Tasquin is an artist of the in-between — composing from the liminal space where grief meets beauty, where ancestral ache meets quantum physics, where the olive grove burns and the calendula blooms. Her new body of work lives in the superpositionality of it all — between the rational and the mysterious, the garden and the war zone, the hymn and the scream. Wordplay and raw testimony. Art-pop and folk. Poetry and fart jokes. A tapestry of harmonic entanglement stitched from complexity, tenderness, and the nerve to stay with what hurts.
“I am one little door in a great portal opening.”
