Avant-Cake house concerts

From time to time Amy presents concerts in her Oakland home: homemade cake and other delights upstairs, music in her studio downstairs (holds about 35 people), usually featuring an out-of-town artist and a local artist… and everyone joins in the Avant-Cake Theme Song. If you have an Avant-Cake concert proposition, feel free to contact Amy.

Past events include:

Overheard....

“She loops her voice and sings over her alter egos until she’s a whole chorus, an opera, a circus act… More musical than Laurie Anderson and a hell of a lot cheerier than Diamanda Galas, Neuburg has scoped out her own territory in the gulf between pop and classical.”

— Kyle Gann, Village Voice
