Rachel Efron with Mirissa Neff: A Pop-Up Music Box – “Angel No More” EP Release

For the release of her latest EP, Angel No More, Bay Area chanteuse and pianist Rachel Efron brings to the Red Poppy a special evening of music and art. Transforming the space into a virtual music box, with Efron and bassist Aaron Germain at its heart, the audience members will be transported to an alternate reality set to the dreamy soundtrack of Efron’s art-pop melodies. Filmmaker and audio artist Mirissa Neff joins the duo through a presentation of her new multimedia work steeped in soundscapes and images she’s recorded around the world.

Featuring:
Rachel Efron – piano, vocals, songwriting
Aaron Germain – upright bass
Mirissa Neff – film
 
Oakland singer-songwriter/pianist Rachel Efron offers captivating melodies and chord progressions rooted from deep-seated classical and jazz sensibilities. Her lyrics offer an intimate access to a divergent and distinct experience of the world. Rachel’s latest recording, Angel No More, is her boldest statement to date and features musicians Jon Evans (Tori Amos, Sarah MacLachlan), Matthias Bossi (Rabbit Rabbit), and Julie Wolf (Ani Difranco) and Erik Jekabson.

Mirissa Neff is a New York-based documentary filmmaker/audio artist and the director of the upcoming feature, This is National Wake, which tells the moving story of inter-racial South African Afro-rock pioneers who risked everything during apartheid for their music. She is driven to tell human stories that help us better understand our world.

“Balancing fragility and strength, introspection and unblinking observation, Oakland singer, songwriter, and pianist Rachel Efron sets her lambent, poetically charged lyrics to soft, caressing melodies” – Andrew Gilbert, SF Chronicle

“Efron has forged a distinct ‘art-pop’ sound for herself at the corner of jazz and pop with poetic lyrics and persuasive piano” — Aimsel Ponti, Portland Press Herald
