******* UPDATE - MAY 2007 *******
Born and raised in LA by artists and musicians - I guess that's why I love to be surrounded by created people. I'm proud to say that I've been earning a living in the music business for 20+ years. I spent 15 of those years in the "record business" but had to leave and start focusing on establishing a career in the "music business". Some people assume that I'm just a country rock chick, but I gotta tell ya, MAMA likes to shake a tailfeather! Don't get me wrong, I love a good sensitive singer/songwriter but it better be damn good! I don't have time for whiney, pretentious self righteous types. I started Sin City 8 or so years ago and my how we've grown. In addition to producing shows in LA and the surrounding areas, we've producing annual events in Nashville and Austin for the past 7 years. Sin City Social Club now has a 30 min. audio series produced by In Flight Entertainment! If you're flyin' the friendly skies on Continental, Singapore or Copa Airlines tune into the "country channel" and listen for Bryson and I - we're bringin' you the "best of the west" - It's an ongoing series and in each segment we highlight artists that are "west" of the Nashville mainstream. We play our favorite tunes from classic heritage artists such as Buck Owens and Merle Haggard to contemporary hero's like Dwight & Lucinda and then we take a little time to turn people on to artists coming from the current thriving communities from Austin to the West Coast. I adopted a dog named Chica , have a bird named Rocka and a car named "The Midnight Rider" - I was the flower girl in Dicky Betts wedding as a kid so I had to pay respects to my southern roots (even if it was "southern california"! A lot of people know me as "Mama Shi" and most people say I'm the most "southern girl not from the south" that they know. I guess that's because I'm a firm believer in "hospitality" - In addition to turning people onto music...this Mama loves to cook, sing, shop for funky treasures and throw a good party. By the way, if there were only ONE place for me to shop on the entire planet it would be WWW.GYPSYVILLE.COM - owned and operated by a wonderful family of women known as THE JUNK GYPSIES! As an only child, my friends are my chosen family - thankfully I have a pretty big family. Although straight...(yep, just ask anyone - I'm a fan of the man! ) I have a lot of "wives" who my life would be just miserable without! You know who you are. Nothing like the love and support from your best girlfriends. I've done a lot of amazing things in my life ... If I were to die tomorrow, I would have NO REGRETS. That's good livin'!
**************************************************************************************
We strive to bring the best in Roots, Country Rock, Singer/songwriters, Blues and good ol fashioned Rock n Roll from local and national artists to the best clubs in and around Austin and Los Angeles. You can find us the LAST Saturday of every month at THE SCOOT INN in Austin, TX. And we still put on a show or two around the LA area but not as much as we used to!
In case you were wonderin' - that was US that put together the GP Tribute shows in LA with Keith Richards, Lucinda, Dwight etc. There is a DVD available that's called "RETURN TO SIN CITY; A TRIBUTE TO GRAM PARSONS". Go buy it. $$ goes to a good cause - The Musicians Assistance Program - a fund thru MusiCares to help artists who are seeking recovery from alcohol and/or drugs regardless of their financial situation. We also had the amazing experience of bringing a lot of our crew to London for a Gram Tribute in 2003! Hope to bring more music overseas in the future!
We also produce Sin City Social Club sampler CD's 2x/year. You can pick them up at any offical Sin City events, or at cool gigs in LA, Austin or Nashville.
Last but not least - visit our official website and sign up to be a member of the Sin City Social Club by subscribing to our email list maybe you'll win tickets or other groovy things that we give away from time to time! www.sincitysocialclub.com ..
