KYRA GORDON

If you wandered into a Kyra Gordon show, you’d be struck by the powerful vocals, deft touch on the keyboard, and command of the room. Watching her perform original songs with disarmingly personal lyrics, punctuated with spoken tales from her extensive travels, you’d feel the conviction of a singer, songwriter, and storyteller with a firm grasp of her creative voice, an artist who has arrived. Gordon has performed nationally and internationally; recognized for her recent work all over the Bay Area, she is well known to audiences for ‘Loving Janis,’ a one woman show she created as a tribute to two of her formative influences, Janis Joplin and Janis Ian. Her debut album ‘Soul Of A Showgirl’ garnered rave reviews for its incisive lyrics and beguiling melodies. It received national airplay and charted #1 on the RMR’s top 50 Americana Country Albums in Aug ‘22. She is headed into her seventh national house concert tour, and her upcoming sophomore release ‘Traveler’ is out everywhere this November.

MAKE NO BONES

Make No Bones is a musical project of Austin James Hicks based in Oakland, CA. It’s like folk meets punk at a bar, then they end up having a few too many and hooking up with pop. Sometimes he’s got a band, sometimes it’s just him. Either way, it’s best if you make no bones about it.
