MAPP

* MAPP is a FREE event — Join us!*

The MAPP is a homegrown, intercultural, multidisciplinary neighborhood event that takes place the first Saturday every two months in the Mission District. This months’s MAPP features more than 15 venues—garages, cafés,  studios, gardens, street corners—which artists transform into makeshift venues for the intimate experience of people and culture. Endeavoring to bridge the cultural divides of our communities, the MAPP gives space and voice to the multiplicity of perspectives and experiences that exist within urban settings.

Band Bio’s:

Anthony Presti 

Emotional, Melodic, Acoustic

Anthony Presti is a singer/songwriter from San Francisco, California. Presti grew up around Seattle where he was influenced by the early grunge scene and melancholy weather. His music is honest, layered with beautiful and melodic guitar riffs and he “wears his heart on his sleeve, singing about love and loss, happiness and heartbreak.” Anthony Presti is an independent artist and has toured extensively across the Pacific Northwest. He is currently supporting his latest album, “God’s Ugly Teeth,” and writing music for his upcoming album, “Clarity in Hindsight.” Anthony Presti- Guitar/Vocals, Leah Van Dyke- Backing Vocals.

Joshua Eden and Oscar Westesson

Gritty acoustic soul

Described as a cross between Ray Charles and Tom Waits, Joshua Eden’s deeply personal songwriting draws from Americana, soul and blues traditions without for a moment sounding like anyone but himself. He is joined by Oscar Westesson on upright bass as he recounts tales of the road, drunken sailors, love, death, promises and destiny.  Joshua Eden – guitar, voice. Oscar Westesson – upright bass.
