Hootenanny: Lizzie & The Makers, Sam Brown, & Amanda Fama

Hootenanny: Lizzie & The Makers, Sam Brown, & Amanda Fama Live at Cafe Wha? | Sunday, March 30th| 5PM Doors, 6PM Show

Lizzie & The Makers’ sophomore studio album, Dear Onda Wahl, embroiders their potent Southern-tinged rock with art-rock, dream-pop, and ethereal elements to spawn something all their own. It’s one of those rare records that combines single-minded artistry with broad commercial appeal.

Created around the dusky yet soaring timbre of force-of-nature frontwoman Lizzie Edwards, Dear Onda Wahl was produced by Grammy winner Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince) and Cure guitarist Reeves Gabrels (Tin Machine, Bowie). Their influence ensures an intriguingly adventurous, hugely dynamic – and occasionally otherworldly – take on the traditional.
Defying her constant comparisons to Janis Joplin, the classically-trained Edwards, 5-time official showcasing artist at SXSW, former Pleasantville Music Festival MainStage performer, summons a heartfelt, nuanced mezzo-soprano shaped by Memphis soul legend Ann Peebles, Heart’s Wilson sisters, and jazz icon Billie Holiday. She’s assertive, yet vulnerable; defiant, yet proudly flawed.

Sam Brown is a lifelong singer, songwriter, everything else writer, comedian, and actor in New Jersey/New York. She released her debut album in January of 2017, and is currently working on her next release. She regularly sings with Joe McGinty’s Losers Lounge, Scotch Bonnet, and plays solo acoustic shows. Her love of old country, soul, and comes through in her songwriting and set lists.

She is an alumnus of Atlantic Acting School in NYC, and a recent graduate of Smith College with a dual degree in English and Psychology and Poetry Concentration.

Amanda Fama is a New York based singer-songwriter.
