OAKLAND: AMANDA KING OPENS AT NEW VENUE: THE SOUND ROOM
Amanda King makes her Oakland, CA debut at a new venue, THE SOUND ROOM (2147 Broadway, Oakland, CA - 415-994-3501) on Saturday, May 18th at 8:00 pm. She has invited Erica Roman to join her for the second set. Erica is a singer/songwriter whose jazz vocal stylings blend classic tunes with modern inflection. Amanda King is a classic chanteuse who performs little known gems from the 1930s and 40s, as well as jazz standards and popular songs from the Great American Songbook. Combining the best of the jazz and cabaret worlds by focusing on the words, the music, and the swing, Amanda masterfully interprets the music she adores. In the last three years Amanda has appeared at venues throughout San Francisco and the greater Bay Area including, the Empire Plush Room, Jazz at Pearl's, Bliss Bar and the Herbst Theater. She also appeared at the Fillmore Jazz Festival, the North Beach Festival, and the Castro Street Festival where she became an instant hit. In December of 2008 Amanda performed with the prestigious San Francisco Chamber Orchestra singing Gershwin songs arranged for the orchestra by Bay Area jazz icon Jeff Neighbor, Amanda's regular bassist. The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz and Arts, Inc (BAJA). BAJA is a nonprofit organization that nurtures music, art, and creative ventures through live performance and educational programs.
