Only purchase tickets from moesalley.com or ticketweb.com====RAINBOW GIRLSCalifornia indie band, Rainbow Girls, is known for their haunting harmonies, powerful songwriting, and unfiltered yet poised stage presence. Their live show is an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience that will make you both laugh and cry.The band met in Southern California and formed at a weekly open mic night they hosted in their college house known as Rainbow House. They spent their first few summers as a band, busking & couch-surfing across Europe on one-way plane tickets.In 2016, Erin Chapin, Caitlin Gowdey, & Vanessa May pivoted toward a raw, stripped-down acoustic sound, performing around a single condenser mic. This spotlighted their intricate harmonies and cemented their place in the roots music scene. Since then, their blend of provocative charm and musical precision has earned them a cult following across the US and Europe, thanks in part to a viral rise on social media.Their latest album, HAUNTING (2024), is both a sonic evolution and a bold reclamation. As Chapin puts it:
The concept for this album came about from the word haunting itself, which is the most common adjective people use when describing female harmonies. But what is it about female harmonies that make people want to describe them as haunting? Its because theyre powerful. And if a woman is powerful, then she must be a witch. She must be otherworldly or special because a regular woman couldnt possibly be powerful on her own. We are reclaiming the word haunting to describe our power the power we find in reckoning with our trauma, grief, loss, and fear.The album dives deep into that reckoning - layered with grief and resilience, its an intimate yet expansive collection of songs that shine a light on the transformative nature of pain and the strength that grows from it. Its Rainbow Girls at their most raw, most refined, and most powerful. Avi VinocurAvi Vinocur is a San Francisco singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer whose music roams these United States, spanning time zones and topographies, and arrives just when you need it most: a tune suddenly coming through clear over the radio during a long drive in the middle of nowhere. With a talent for crafting vivid, three-dimensional narrators and slice-of-life tales set in forgotten places, Vinocur has made a name for himself as a songwriters songwriter: a modern musician with an old souls gift for storytelling. A versatile performer and nearly lifelong guitarist at age 15, obsessed with Jimi Hendrix, he sold his Magic cards to buy a Fender Stratocaster Vinocur is best known for his work as a co-frontman of the acclaimed Americana band Goodnight, Texas; for his poignant blues-folk solo records; and, increasingly over the past two years, as an occasional collaborator and live background vocalist/mandolin player for Metallica.
