Dublin

Alcatraz

I recorded this a year ago when I had this idea of making an opera about this history of san francisco. I'm coming back to this project researching pre 1906 days of the "barbary coast" and the poetry scene in North Beach from 1957 to 1959 and the 1967 mock funeral for the death of the hippies. If anyone on here knows of anything archival reach out! So i'm not sure what to do with it but i thought its nice to share demos so here it is (as if it really were miraculously recorded by a toaster). what i mean to say is the quality is bad but you'll know anyway, you have ears. its a mess and the lyrics are strange but i love it -- one year anniversary!

"Secret Magnum Opus"

Whimsical yet daring, Peri's deft ability behind the piano lends her somehow mystical songs and improvised compositions a weight reserved usually for the greats of the jazz world. Declaring, "Write anything, and I'll sing it" and plunking the pulse of now. Raised in the far reaches of San Francisco’s wild west, Peri’s music has a strong root in folk rock n roll music. A virtuoso vocal presence and multi-instrumentalism promises a well rounded and harmonically complex concert.
She still believes in the poetic gesture and hopes this will suffice.
