A TRIO OF TRIOS
Three fantastic local trios perform at Kilowatt Bar for the first time:
Adrian West Trio
Ruby Ruby / Madeline Tasquin Trio
Sucker Crush
Free show. 2 - 5pm, 21+
Adrian West Trio
Adrian West Trio is the “intimate” version of the Adrian West Band, an Oakland-based acoustic rock ensemble that describes itself as "Paul Simon meets Talking Heads". We play a fun mix of acoustic rock originals, covers and instrumentals featuring Amy Obenski on vocal harmonies and percussion, Adrian West on acoustic guitar, electric violin & live looping, and Jonny Kaminek on upright bass. Whether telling a story or grappling with some challenge facing humanity, Adrian's lyrics are infused with equal parts hope, clear-eyed realism and lighthearted whimsy.

Ruby Ruby/Madeline Tasquin Trio
Built on blood harmonies from not-blood sisters Judy Butterfield and Anya Rome, Ruby Ruby's original songs are melodious folk weavings of two hearts that can't sit still. Together with the queenly and captivating musical chameleon Madeline Tasquin, this trio sinks into their deep groove and sings to you of your familiar and delicious yearning for people, places and things that may never even have existed.

Sucker Crush
Sucker Crush is the songwriting project of Marissa Deitz, an Oakland-based composer and multi-instrumentalist. At its core, Sucker Crush is a vessel for thoughtful, confessional lyrics about connection, isolation, plants, pets, video games, and the ever-present dread of existing in our era. At KiloWatt she will be joined by Lewis Patzner (cello) and Tim DeCillis (drums).
