ivy room presentsTHURSDAY JANUARY 4TH—ASH POWELLELIZABETH LUBINMATT JAFFE—Doors 7:00pm / Show 8:00pm$12 Advance / $15 Door—IVY ROOM860 San Pablo Ave, Albany • 21+(rsvp on facebook)ASH POWELLWebsite / Spotify / Facebook—Accompanied by vintage tones, cinematic symphonies and honest acoustics, Ash Powel brings her listeners on a beautiful journey through the landscapes and experiences of her life, Powel delivers contemporary Americana Classics to the forefront of today’s music, blending influences of Brandi Carlile and Patti Smith with her uniquely discovered sense of self.ELIZABETH LUBINBandcamp / Facebook—Elizabeth's songwriting is a catalyst for contemplation, her rhythms a rootsy homage to intimacy. There is a tenderness in this music that feels like the kin of your own heartbeat. The melodies are digging for the roots of the ancestral, seeking new growth and healing to replace where a stump beholden to a discouraged heart once stood.MATT JAFFEWebsite / Facebook—After cutting his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area, San Francisco songwriter Matt Jaffe was discovered by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads. Together, they produced his first album at the age of 16, cementing Matt's dedication to music. Soon, he formed a band, dropped out of college, and has not looked back.Since then, Matt has written more songs than he can remember the words to, crisscrossed the country opening for Blues Traveler and Wilco, and co-written with Tom Higgenson of the Plain White T's. Inspired by the great lineage of rock n' roll, he marries literary lyrics with the undeniable urge to dance.Matt has served as musical director for experimental theater, collaborated with poets on genre-bending spoken word, and curated residencies among fellow songwriters. Having suffered from seizures since 2015, Matt also uses his music to unite local and national epilepsy communities.
