Ticket Giveaway: Mirah at The Chapel
Having last swung through the city back in June for a collaborative tour with Jherek Bischoff, Mirah will return to a larger (and potentially more haunted) room in The Chapel. I feel it is completely appropriate to assume you are still listening to Changing Light; Mirah’s latest record from 2014. At the very least, you’ve planted about three songs from the album onto one of your "Do Not Listen 'Til Nightfall" playlists. If you dig further back, you’ll find her combined solo and shared catalog is well into the double-digits. Back in October, the Brooklyn-based songwriter added her name to [...]

http://media.libsyn.com/media/thebaybridged/LTM_March_2014.mp3 Download: Live This Month: March 2014 — an audio guide through upcoming SF concerts (Podcast #330) In Live This Month, we sample some of the great local and out-of-town bands performing in the coming month in the San Francisco Bay Area. With South by Southwest luring over one thousand bands to Austin later this month, it's touring season in indie music. While that means plenty of locals are already on the road, it also means some exciting opportunities to see buzzed-about out-of-town acts without taking a flight to Texas. Those acts include UK producer Forest Swords, touring around SXSW [...]
Mirah, Real Vocal String Quartet, Kacey Johansing at the New Parish 11/20/11

Video: Mirah – “Gone are the Days” (live with the Real Vocal String Quartet)
A few months ago, Mirah teamed up with the Real Vocal String Quartet for a performance in a redwood grove at UC Berkeley. As you can see from the wonderful rendition of "Gone are the Days" above, the collaboration was one well worth repeating. On Sunday, November 20th, Mirah reunites with the quartet for a show at The New Parish. You can see more videos from the collaboration's UC Berkeley performance on YouTube and below.
