 | Acoustic Night w. Jim Page, Hali Hammer & Clara Bellino - Berkeley | | | Sun Nov 22 7 pm, Clara Bellino at 7, Hali Hammer at 7:30
Jim Page, incredible Seattle singer-songwriter, is in the Bay Area. Art House is honored to host.
About Jim Page: After seeing him perform at the High Sierra Music Festival in the summer of ‘97, Rob Bleetstein of Gavin wrote: “Jim Page is a lyrical genius with a guitar. This man personifies the word ‘free-flow.’ Page takes to the mic and the song invents itself on the spot; his talent is a natural wonder.” And in any of the many countries, from the countless tours and stages he has played people say the same. “A truly amazing man...one of the great originals. Ignore him at your peril.” - Hot Press, Dublin www.jimpage.net
Jim has been on the scene for more than twenty years and his reputation continues to grow. He has shared the stage with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Dan Bern, Michelle Shocked, Leftover Salmon, Mickey Hart, J.J. Cale, Robert Hunter, Chuck Brodsky, and John Hammond. His songs have been performed by Christy Moore, Michael Hedges, John Trudell, The Doobie Brothers, Joanne Rand, Casey Neill, and (yes) David Soul. Often cited for his biting political pieces he is in constant demand by the social movements of the day.
Hali Hammer is an award winning singer-songwriter who has sung and played for peace and political causes for over three decades. She worked on the Heritage Tree Initiative, and was a primary organizer for Citizens to Save Minnewaska in upstate New York, which is now Minnewaska Lake State Park instead of a Marriott property. Aside from writing and performing her own music, she is a member of Freedom Song Network and plays bass with the Jump-In band, which plays folk-rock oldies. She was the coordinator of the 2003 Berkeley Free Folk Festival and is an SF Folk Club board member. Hali was a member of the chorus that sang onstage behind Nelson Mandela at the Oakland Coliseum. Her feet are tired from too many years of marching against war. www.halihammer.com
Hailing from Paris, France, and growing up in a small village of the French Alps, Clara Bellino blends heartfelt rhythms, magical lyrics, and unimaginable emotions into a rare mixture of solid American songs with an unfettered sense of humor and a European sense of what is amusing. Clara spent the majority of the 1990's entertaining live audiences at The Great American Music Hall, The Paradise, and more recently at Café Du Nord in San Francisco. She's also played benefits for Code Pink,Music in Schools Today, Guitars Not Guns, Beyond the Hoop, Katrina, Food Not Bombs, Toys for Tots, and the Monterey Pop Festival 40TH Anniversary with "Musicians for Peace." www.clarabellino.com
