  Hey everyone! My new band, led by Juliana Graffagna (former director & performer with Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble will have our San Francisco debut on Saturday! Come down to BlueSix (Joe Lewis's new acoustic venue) and balk out to some lush, slammin, trancey Albanian, Greek, Rom & Amerikanski music!

  Plus: it's free! As part of the Mission Arts & Performance Project, aka MAPP. Which means we'll likely have some unexpected guests (and, well, honestly, there are a couple I'm expecting, myself, but you won't expect em cos I'm not telling!).
