Mia Borders + Briget Boyle

$18 General Admission Doors at 7:30pm. Show from 8:15-10:30pm with one intermission Note: This performance was originally a 4-7pm matinée, but was changed to 7:30-10:30pm due to the daytime North Beach Festival. It's usually fairly easy to park at our end of the neighborhood, but having the performance during the festival would have made it quite challenging to get in and out of North Beach.

With gritty, vulnerable lyrics, pristine vocals, and driving playing on her antique Gibson J45, Briget’s 90s rock-tinged songs center the truth-telling power of the human voice. Sincerity is magnetic and Briget's songs often inspire listeners to put pen to paper, clear their throats, and dust off their old guitars. What will happen when you listen? Briget’s songwriting awakens the act of witnessing. She goes deep to mine for truth and what comes out is a powerful vocal expression that is magnetic. Her sound comes from an authentic way of living and is driven by deep connections that she has forged along her diverse path of music making. She views music as the mortar of human experience that ties us together in ways that nothing else can. She began writing songs right when she was 12 years old and attended the College of Santa Fe to study Music Performance & Composition. It was here that her musical journey took an unexpected turn. She discovered the rich traditional folk music of the Balkans and quickly became a student of the voice and of traditional singing styles. This study led her to many years of performing with Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble, Brass Menažeri Balkan Brass Band, and True Life Trio. https://brigetboyle.com/ https://linktr.ee/brigetboyle https://www.instagram.com/brigetsongs/ https://www.facebook.com/brigetboylemusic https://www.tiktok.com/@brigetsongs Recommended If You Like: Irma Thomas, Bill Withers, Ani DiFranco Vaccines, boosters, and masks are strongly encouraged, but are not required as per local Public Health Policy.
