LYNDA CARTER and her All-Star Band at YOSHI SF "April 9 & 10, 2014"




feat. Paul Liem & Blue Lou Marini

Wednesday-Thursday, Apr 9-10
Wed, Apr 9
  • 8pm GA $25, VIP Meet & Greet $50
Thu, Apr 10
  • 8pm GA $29, VIP Meet & Greet $55

VIP Meet & Greet tickets: Premier seating plus a Meet & Greet reception with Lynda Carter. The Meet and Greet will be immediately following the concert each night in the Sake Lounge (upstairs bar).

Best known for winning our hearts as Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter is an accomplished singer who has performed to rave reviews before sell-out crowds around the world. In addition to her long acting career, Lynda has the distinction of producing and starring in five highly rated network television specials, several of which were Emmy-nominated. She has appeared onstage with many of the world's most popular singers, including Ray Charles, Tom Jones, Kenny Rogers, Bob Hope, George Benson, and Ben Vereen.

Lynda made her professional singing debut at fourteen in Tempe, Arizona, and has studied classical dance and piano. In 1973, she won the Miss World-U.S.A. title and shortly thereafter outdistanced hundreds of other actresses for the part of "Wonder Woman," a character she infused with such depth and humor that it has become one of the most indelible characters in TV history. Her fame led to her becoming the “face” of Maybelline Cosmetics, and she remained Maybelline’s top model for over a decade. But her roots remained with her music.

“Singing is in my soul”, says Lynda. “I was on the road performing in my teens and traveled from the Catskills to Las Vegas, and from San Francisco to the saloons in Texas”. An engaging storyteller, she takes her audience on a journey where her life story and her music intertwine.

Though Lynda continued to act in films and television, she left the road when she had children to raise her young family. She returned to live performing in 2006, appearing on the London stage with an acclaimed star turn in “Chicago.” In 2007, Lynda started touring again in venues across the country with her band of Nashville all stars.

Lynda has just returned from sold out appearances at Jazz at Lincoln Center in NY and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Her CD, “At Last” was released on June 9th and dropped at #6 on the Billboard charts. Her new CD will be released this April and she will be touring the West Coast in March and April. She recently served as Grand Marshall for the DC AIDS Walk and is a supporter of the Whitman Walker Clinic as well as many other charitable organizations.

**PREMIER SEATING + MEET and GREET tickets: Yoshi's will provide seating in the first two rows for the performance. The Meet and Greet will be one hour before the performance (7PM) and will take place in the club.

Singer and songwriter Chanté Moore’s voice, stunning beauty and unerring artistic vision have afforded the Gold-selling R&B singer to enjoy an illustrious two-decade career that is rare in this business. “I have been blessed and honored to do what I love for a living for as long as I have,” confides the dynamic songbird. “My fans who have continued with me on my journey have become a part of me and the music.” Moore’s genuine connection with her audience has been forged through her intimate and personal songwriting. Chanté’s effortless combination of R&B soaked in gospel roots, soul accents kissed with a touch of jazz and grace with fire, coalesce on her Shanachie Entertainment debut, Moore Is More (July 30, 2013). Chanté wrote or co-wrote most of the songs featured on the new CD. “My heart is overwhelmed with excitement and joy in life and in my music! I have more to give my fans, more then meets the eye, more of the same and more than what you expect.”

Moore is currently starring in the highly rated and anticipated TV One reality show spin-off, R&B Diva’s: L.A., which premiered on July 10, 2013 on TV One, breaking records for its high viewership. The show follows the lives and careers of Moore as well as Kelly Price, Lil' Mo, Claudette Ortiz, Michel'le and Dawn Robinson. Like fellow songbirds Minnie Riperton, Deniece Williams and Mariah Carey, chanteuse Chanté Moore shares the rare distinction of possessing a spectacularly soaring range. Shanachie Entertainment VP of A&R, Danny Weiss, “I'm super-enthusiastic about working with Chanté now, not only because she is such a brilliant vocalist, but also because she is entering into an exciting new phase in her life both personally and artistically. Moore Is More will manifest that growth and excitement.”

DUNCAN SHEIK at Yoshi SF February 8 2014



http://www.yoshis.com/sanfrancisco/livemusic/artist/show/3947

GRAMMY® and two-time Tony Award winner, composer of Spring Awakening

Saturday, Feb 8


  • 8pm $29 adv, $34 door
  • 10pm $21 adv, $26 door
After breaking through in the late ‘90s with his Top 20 single “Barely Breathing,” Duncan Sheik spent much of the subsequent decade taking a breather from the usual rock singer/songwriter rituals. His focus was on albums that broke with pop music conventions and, additionally, theatrical musicals like Spring Awakening, the Broadway sensation that won him two Tony Awards and a GRAMMY®. As he explains this lengthy diversion now: “After a while you get boring to everyone else, but you get really bored with yourself. There was a moment where I was much more interested in these kind of longer narrative arcs, and being able to sing from the perspective of somebody else’s persona, as opposed to Duncan Sheik’s.”

His new album(s) splits the difference. Sheik makes his long-awaited return to singing stand-alone pop songs, but he hasn’t given up his recent habit of inhabiting characters. In this case, though, the characters are Morrissey, Robert Smith, Martin Gore, and David Sylvian. Duncan Sheik Covers '80s, released in 2011, features 12 of his highly personalized takes on the synth-pop era, including smashes and obscurities from the likes of the Cure, New Order, Tears for Fears, the Smiths, the Psychedelic Furs, the Thompson Twins, Love & Rockets, Howard Jones, Japan, Talk Talk, and the Blue Nile.

Currently writing and recording new Duncan Sheik album due out late 2013 or early 2014.

ELLIOTT YAMIN

December 29, 2013


Multi-talented American Idol performer returns to Yoshi's SF

Sunday, Dec 29
  • 7pm $24

"This album is something that I needed to do, for me," Elliott Yamin says of the aptly-titled Let's Get to What's Real, his third album and his first Purpose Music Group/eOne release. "It feels right, and it feels like who I am as an artist. I wanted to make something raw and soulful and organic, so I went wherever the music moved me."

Yamin has already earned a prestigious reputation as both a world-class recording artist and a deeply compelling live performer, having built an impressive body of work as well as an intensely loyal international fan base. On Let's Get to What's Real, the multi-talented artist raises the musical and personal stakes, tapping into the emotional honesty and sonic intimacy of classic soul to create the most inspired and distinctive music he's ever made. The resulting album is the purest expression to date of the musical talent and personal charisma that were first introduced to the public during Yamin's stint as one of the most acclaimed performers to ever compete on TV's American Idol.

"I wanted to get back to making real music with real musicians and real instruments," Yamin says of the new disc. "There were some hints of that on my first album, but my second album was pretty much machine-driven. I like that kind of music too, but this time I wanted to create music about real issues and make a record which reflects this.”

Yamin's fresh new creative leap is apparent on such impassioned new tunes as the intimate, insistent "Self Control," the rousingly upbeat "Gather 'Round," the poignantly autobiographical "Virginia" and the commanding title track, whose lyrical sentiments underline the sense of personal commitment that Yamin brought to the project. Those tracks find the artist decisively reinventing his sound, reaching back to the heartfelt immediacy of vintage R&B while remaining firmly grounded in the present.
