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....

“Emotionally, her music is as complex as real life. Neuburg’s mix of despair, sex, joy, ennui and high energy are viewed through an observant eye of someone who’s decided that, all things considered, the world is more comedy than tragedy.”

— Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
