Upcoming Shows
RSVP required: basementsessionsrsvp@gmail.com The Basement Sessions is a monthly live acoustic house show hosted by singer-songwriters Max Bartos, Jake Kitchin, and Izzy Imamura, built to counter a monopolized live show industry by giving new, incredible artists a grassroots stage. Held in an intimate apartment setting and centered on folk, singer-songwriter, and acoustic music, the series has been recognized as an official house show by Folk Alliance International and is proudly sponsored by Samson Audio, Noble Steed Music, and Tipify.
Sammy Isabela opening for Meital @ Berlin. Ticket info to come!
