Thursday, May 7 WATERSTRIDER / LOUIZA (single + video release party!) Maggie Gently 7 pm doors $15 advance / $20 doors all ages In a single day of marathon recording at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, CA, Waterstrider was able to craft their new full-length release, 25th Street Sessions (out on October 30th). These tracks are a balance of hard-hitting, jammed-out reinterpretations of indie rock songs from the Waterstrider catalog, alongside some emotionally-laden ballads. Primarily the moniker of singer/songwriter Nate Salman, this time around Waterstrider became a collective of Salman and powerhouse Bay Area musicians Patrick Aguirre (Emily Afton, Yassou Benedict), Antrom Alexander (Desert Friends, Eyes on the Shore), Kevin McCann (Madame Ghandi, Eyes on the Shore) and Cory Tauwoo (Tauwoo, Eyes on the Shore), alongside guest features from Jeff Kolhede, Anton Patzner, and Elena Shelton. https://waterstrider.world/ Bay Area native LOUIZA is one of indie music’s best rising pop singer-songwriters. She's released several albums, including Party Trick, Swim at Night, On, Off, White Light, Blood, Sweat, Rinse, Repeat and continues to receive glowing press for her music. Her discography questions and captures the spectrum of human essence in all its playfulness, boldness, and beauty. https://www.louizaband.com/ Maggie Gently (she/her) is an indie/alt-rock artist based in San Francisco. Originally from New England, Maggie moved across the country for a girl (now, her wife), and in the process, fell in love with transitions, slowness, and California. Maggie Gently’s music is melody-driven and heartfelt — a big-city indie rock fascination with an unmistakable emo accent. Her songs are about queer love, inner healing, signs from the universe, and the power of interiority. https://www.maggiegently.com/home
