San Francisco Event Alert: Women’s Audio Mission 15th Year Anniversary Benefit Concert – September 21st

Big milestones deserve a big celebration: The San Francisco Bay Area-based nonprofit Women’s Audio Mission (WAM), which is dedicated to advancing women in music production and the recording arts, is marking 15 years in action.

After training over 12,000 women and girls in the recording arts, WAM is taking a victory lap with a benefit concert at San Francisco’s Brava Theater on September 21, 2018. The concert will feature some sharp sets, including performances by R&B/pop artists, St. Beauty, currently touring with Janelle Monáe, and Mexican American singer/songwriter Diana Gameros. Also on the schedule is a cocktail reception with a DJ set by Chulita Vinyl Club.

The event is a fundraiser for WAM’s training programs, which reach the Bay Area’s most vulnerable communities (96% are low income, 91% are girls of color). Funds generated will help WAM reach their goal of training 3,000 women/girls in the recording arts by 2020 in San Francisco and Oakland, as well as expand services to underserved artists in WAM’s recording studio, the only one in the world built and run entirely by women.

WAM’s 15 Year Anniversary party will feature a live auction, live performances, pre and post-concert receptions, and a special meet-and-greet with the performers for VIP ticket holders.

St. Beauty is part of the renowned artistic collective, Wondaland Art Society, which includes artists such as Janelle Monáe and Jidenna on its roster. Their music was recently featured on the HBO hit show, Insecure. Diana Gameros’ latest album, Arullo, recorded at WAM, was covered by Billboard, Mother Jones, NPR, and more.

Tickets are $75, or be a VIP for $250. Learn more about the event and purchase tickets here.
