Eclectic Indie Rock
St .Tropez is an eclectic indie rock band based in Oakland, California. Band members Sanjay Vora (vocals, guitar, keys), Akiyoshi Ehara (bass, also of The Seshen), Jeremy Fisch (drums) and special guest member Lalin St. Juste (vocals, also of the Seshen) make music that explores memories and the simultaneous joy and melancholy we experience contemplating passing moments which are gone forever.

Yesway has been called a “floating, flowing faucet of magical unification” and “the hottest new supergroup in San Francisco”. Supergroup isn’t often a term used to describe duos, but in this case it works. Live, their voices literally melt together and their performances are intimate yet expansive. The budding project is a collaboration between best friends, Kacey Johansing and Emily Ritz.
The two have been involved in the Bay Area music scene for years. Kacey, other than having quite the solo career has lent her talents to projects such as Geographer and The Blank Tapes while Emily is a part of the bands Devotionals and DRMS. Three years ago, the two began playing music together in the experimental folk ensemble Honeycomb and have since grown and woven their creative song writing and soulful expression into a power duo. Live and in recordings they are often backed by Vibraphone man about town, Andrew Maguire who also plays with Will Sprott and Thao and Mirah. Yesway is an exquisite illustration of a rare and powerful connection shared by two potent songwriters.
$10-$15 admission. Doors at 7:30 pm. Show at 8:00 pm.
