About this Event
Welcome to the fourth performance of The Living Earth Show’s San Francisco concert series: Roar Shack Live!
Market Street Arts and The Living Earth Show have built an innovative partnership to turn a vacant bar into an experimental music hub. The 2024-25 series, Roar Shack Live!, will breathe new life into 34-7th Street, the former home of renowned cocktail lounge Mr. Smith's, turning it into a dynamic venue for experimental chamber music and multidisciplinary performances.
The fourth concert in the series, Trust Me, takes place on Thursday, December 19, 2024.
Trust Me is a trio of vocalist Lynnee Breedlove, guitarist Travis Andrews, and drummer Andy Meyerson that synthesizes folk music, poetry, storytelling, rock music, experimental music, and theater to articulate queer narratives on life, death, loss, and community.
It’s not an exaggeration to call Lynnee Breedlove one of America’s most important and influential living storytellers. From his formative career as the lead singer of seminal dyke punk band Tribe 8 to his work as a trans activist in San Francisco founding the nonprofit rideshare service The Homobiles to his Lambda Literary Award-winning book and solo stage show Lynnee Breedlove’s One Freak Show, Breedlove has used a singular voice to tell queer stories of love, grief, joy, and growth for over thirty years.
In the spring of 2020, in the midst of COVID lockdown, Lynnee experienced unfathomable tragedy: his father and stepmother were brutally murdered in their home by his stepbrother.
In August of 2024, Trust Me, his band with percussionist Andy Meyerson and guitarist Travis Andrews, recorded an album and built live show that tells that story and other stories of grief, love, and growth over seven days in the house in Grass Valley, California where the M**der took place.
Taken together, this collection of songs and stories is why music exists: it expresses grief, love, loss, and life in ways that words alone simply cannot.
We’d love to hear what you think of the music, and we hope to see you at its live premiere at the Roar Shack
To create accessible creative hubs in Mid-Market, all performances will be pay-what-you-can, ranging from $1–$100.
