Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMROSIE TUCKERRosie Tucker is a born songwriter, an evocative vocalist, an accomplished rock instrumentalist, and a funny gender-queer art weirdo serving up truly fresh indie rock with an ear for the long queer lineage of politically conscious singer-poets like The Indigo Girls, Ani Difranco, Tracy Chapman, and Glenn Copeland.The songs that make up Tucker’s fourth LP, Utopia Now! are career-defining, aiming to make a watermark high above most every other songwriter in their genre. Written solely by Tucker (with the exception of “Eternal Life”, a cover of an evocative recent Numero Group unearthing) and produced entirely by Tucker and longtime collaborator Wolfy, this most recent effort is both a homespun labor of love and a hi-fi, creatively ambitious swing for the fences. Recorded at their home studio in Altadena in between walking the dog and watching campy art films, Tucker’s latest album is a beautiful snapshot in time, a picture of healing from the isolation of both the global pandemic and the atomization of artists. Spotify RACHEL REALE Rachel Reale is the kind of singer/songwriter who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Inspired by artistslike Fiona Apple and Lana Del Rey, her music is lyrically driven, with her strong, assured voiceat the forefront of her sound.

Rachel uses her music to capture the sound of the humanexperience- a passionate, delicate, contemplative and wildly emotional thing. Rachel’s latestsingle, “The Real World,” was released in May.
