Next show: San Francisco, Fri 16 Oct
An underground folk act.
The music of Sass N Harmony is imbued with mischief, minimalism and magic. With lyrics immersed in archetypes and folk-tales, their vocals fly together like a tight triangle of birds overhead, agilely changing directions when needed, at times angelic and feathery and other times cackling and edgy, full of tension and resolve, with overlapping lyrics, a cappella rhythmic techniques and lush layering. These ladies are and Oakland based musicians and environmental activists who first formed their band on the Biketopia Music Collective bike tour of 2016, each performing with their own group or solo projects on a journey from Canada to San Francisco hosting off grid, bike powered music festivals along the way. Sass released their first full length album, Twisted Nautilus in the summer of 2020, in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic, hosting an outdoor, socially distance bike-powered concert on the top of Wildcat Canyon in Berkeley, CA. # music videos have been created from the Twisted Nautilus CD including one that documents this bike-powered album release. Their newest single, Siren’s Burlesque is out now and arrives with a comedic and slapstick burlesque video that is part of the Bay Area’s Music InPlace non-profit music project to uplift music during COVID19.
