Join us for an epic evening as we embark on a magical journey with 2 tremendous voices and talented songwriters featuring Anna Moss & The Nightshades and Mama Magnolia on SUNDAY July 28th at the Velvet Elk in Boulder! This night of connection & community will feature saucy beats harmonic hooks and outrageous vocals that will have you grooving through great vibes across the dance floor. Anna & her band are venturing all the way from New Orleans and Megan with Mama Magnolia all the way from Portland for this special night.


Anna Moss has a voice that will stop you dead in your tracks. She commands attention and takes audiences on a spiritual journey when she sings. Moss’s vocal quality is so unique and deeply healing that crowds often beg for down tempo and Acapella songs. It is in these moments that you can fully absorb the smokey gritty and dynamic nature of her singing. Growing up in Berryville Arkansas (a town whose main industry is chicken farming) Anna flew the coop and made her career playing music in the US Canada Europe Central and South America. She has made waves in the folk and festival scenes of North America as a front woman for the band Handmade Moments. After seeing most of the Western World she decided New Orleans would be her home. Moving to the New Orleans has influenced Anna’s arrangements and style. She began writing her debut album in a dark depression during 2020. All shows we cancelled and live musicians were practically erased from the economy. It was in these bleak times that Anna wrote profusely and honed in her bedroom pop style. She searched for months to find a band in New Orleans to fill out her sound. Eventually she found what she was looking for. Fernando Lima a local percussionist and drummer originally from Sao Paulo Brazil and Olivya Lee a flautist and vocalist originaly from Uruguay joined Anna to create the Nightshades.


For the bicoastal six-piece Mama Magnolia—vocalist Megan Letts saxophonist Alex Cazet guitarist Thomas Jennings drummer Jackson Hillmer trumpeter Carrie McCune and bassist Zach Jackson—the process of making their first full-length Dear Irvington was an essential remedy amidst distress. Following a successfully overfunded Kickstarter campaign Dear Irvington was a comfort for Mama Magnolia to lean into amidst a continually harrowing time while also turning tumultuous personal stories into ostensibly groovy jaunts. They enlisted producer Robert Ellis and former White Denim drummer and engineer Josh Block to help funnel their ideas and further animate their intricate sometimes nerdy sophisticated rock compositions. There’s no reservation in diving into the deep end of depression (“Grey”) unpacking the betrayal of a loved one (“Each Time You Lie”) or expressing frustration with another who won’t take a chance on a relationship (“Try Me”). Dear Irvington focuses on empathetic missives highlighting Mama Magnolia’s emotional maturation to explore complex emotions rather than run away from them.


Bar opens at 5 PM and happy hour from open to 7 PM. (21+) The Velvet Elk Lounge does not allow minors - No Exceptions.
