ivy room presentsSATURDAY APRIL 13TH—MOUNT SAINT ELIASSUZANIMALSYRIN SOUL—Doors 7:00pm / Show 7:30pm$15 Advance / $20 Door—IVY ROOM860 San Pablo Ave, Albany • 21+(rsvp on facebook)MOUNT SAINT ELIAS(website / bandcamp / facebook / Instagram)—Mount Saint Elias is the project of singer/songwriter Joey Coe, Chilean percussionist Luna Fuentes, and Josiah Johnson (formerly of The Head and The Heart), Matteo Lovik & KC Van der Zee. The music fuses the acoustic-based and lyric-forward approach of the folk music Coe grew up with in Kentucky with the experimental tones reflective of his adopted home of Oakland, CA. 
 The band began around a campfire in Iowa, as Coe and vocalist Tatyana Schmid met working as adventure travel guides. The two would decide to move together to Oakland, CA with another guide, Matteo Lovik to start a band. The Chilean couch surfer crashing at their house became the fourth member and the band was up and running. The four friends gained a small but devoted following on the West Coast, gaining a reputation for delicious harmonies, whip-smart lyrics, and a high-energy live show. On a cool morning in 2018, co-founder Tatyana Schmid was killed in a bicycle accident in the hills of Oakland.SUZANIMAL(website / bandcamp / facebook / instagram)—Suzanimal is a smart, playful psychedelic pop/rock project from San Francisco Bay Area singer, songwriter and bassist Suzanne Galal. Inspired by her love of Talking Heads and the Tom Tom Club. Galal — a scientist and pharmacy professor by day — picked up a bass guitar for the first time at the age of 30, and began writing confident, groove-centered tracks soon after. With Galal’s seductive yet light-as-air vocals, lyrics driven by her curiosity about the human mind, and a rotating cast of veteran backing musicians, the band quickly earned a reputation for engaging live performances and genre-defying style. A Suzanimal show is designed to make you lose yourself to the rhythm — with just enough of the unexpected to keep you on your toes ‘til the afterparty.
