Maryland-born and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Abby Litman is a voice of a new generation of songwriters who reckon with uncertain truths in a world that always seems ready to end at a moment’s notice. Her songs are timeless truths of the American experience, as seen from an L.A. vantage point. She’s a modern version of the marvelously idiosyncratic and bracingly honest Joni Mitchell with echoes of Carole King. The Furious Seasons are an acoustic trio with stories to tell. Acclaimed songwriter, singer and guitarist David Steinhart fashions songs that lyrically live on the hopeful side of melancholy. His brother Jeff Steinhart plays bass and Paul Nelson fills out the trio on guitar and harmony vocals. Inside their songs are tales of desperate situations, chronicles of life in 21st century Los Angeles, and stories of quietly heroic individuals, often told with a nod towards the inexorable passage of time.

Doors at 4pm. This San Francisco installment of the popular SoCal music series will feature Wine & Song favs Chauncey Bowers and Cynthia Carle. Brad Colerick and his house band — David Plenn and Peter Freiberger will also contribute to this magical evening.

The influence of songwriting heroes Randy Newman and John Prine can be discerned in Chauncey Bowers’ biting wit and wordplay. His sly new album, The Benefit of Doubt, dives back into the metaphysically corkscrewed universe of his 2014 debut, Rumors of Reason. Cynthia Carle has been a frequent musical contributor to Comedy Central Stage’s Sit N Spin and I Love a Good Story. She and collaborator Mark Nutter received rave reviews for their musical Christmas Smackdown, in its production at iO in Chicago, and at the Laurie Beechman in New York. Cynthia appeared in the Stuart Gordon-Mark Nutter hit, Re-Animator the Musical at the Steve Allen Theater in Los Angeles, where it received five Ovation Award nominations. Billboard Magazine called Brad Colerick “One of a baker’s dozen of acts to watch in the folk community around the world.” Colerick has been presenting Wine & Song since 2009. The Pasadena Weekly called it “an inviting community hub for musicians, songwriters, wine-geeks and music fans.…”
