On this site I have been promoting live music in the San Francisco area by indie women artists for 10 years, but the time has come to stop this chapter in my life, I have many other things in my life and must stop a few tasks so I can pursue new tasks, so this site will have limited updates, I'll be absent for weeks at a time...  details here!
