Whew! We've been busy busy busy, and it isn't stopping anytime soon. This Saturday, June 7th will find the ladies of Lynch crooning as part of SperryFest at the Museum of Children's Art in Oakland (538 Ninth Street between Washington & Clay (http://www.mocha.org/ and http://sanfrancisco.parentzone.com/eventinfo.asp?id=266226). We'll be embarking on our improvisational karaoke experience - based on Matthew Sperry's composition Treasure Mouth. Join us for the fun. For those of you who are not familiar with Matthew Sperry and his memorial activities, please visit http://matthewsperry.org/. You'll be moved and inspired.

Then it's onto the airwaves Saturday, June 14th as part of infamous KPIG's Citysty Ham Jam - 1510 AM in San Francisco. The Jam starts at 1:00 PM - we are honored to be playing with the talented I See Hawks in LA. Tune in!!!

Loretta will be playing up in the wine country over the Summer Solstice (and likely sampling some fruit of the vine) - then it's back to San Francisco Saturday, June 28th for a gig at the Hemlock Tavern (http://www.hemlocktavern.com/) with that least subdued of dudes (and founding LL member) Joe Rut (www.joerut.com) and purveyors of only the finest hokum The Vultures (www.myspace.com/vaultiers).

And it doesn't stop there! In July, Loretta is pleased as punch to be part of the Bay Area Girls Rock Camp ( http://www.bayareagirlsrockcamp.org/). More to come.

Hope to see you!

Hurrah for Spring! Hurrah for that last gig at the Great American Music Hall, which was the height of fun! Thanks to all of you who helped make it such a successful Saturday night.

Just a heads up that Loretta Lynch will be playing that most intimate of intimate venues (with damn fine food, beer and wine) the Bazaar Café (5927 California Street, between 21st & 22nd Avenue San Francisco - www.bazaarcafe.com ) this upcoming Sunday, April 20th with none other than that elusive and black-garbed barbed-tongued trucking band the Widows as part of Val Esway's Soup and Song series. It's an early show (but don't worry, night owls – we have a really late one coming up soon), starting promptly at 6:00. Yes – it is all ages, and best of all, it's FREE! What a deal. Bring your wallet and your appetite, though, because there is plenty of delicious food and drink to be had.

Hope to see your lovely mugs there.

Abrazos,

To get your tickets early (and we'd love it if you did – it makes us look real good) go to: http://www.gamh.com/tickets/ or call 1-800-225-2277. Dinner tickets (this covers your gourmet meal and a reserved seat at a table for the night) are available as well.

We'll see you there – and we promise a great show!

Love,

It is our pleasure to announce once again that Loretta Lynch will be gracing the stage at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall (59 O'Farrell Street - http://www.musichallsf.com ) Saturday, March 15th. We are honored to be playing this historic, fancy pants venue, and delighted to be sharing the evening with both Devine's Jug Band ( http://www.myspace.com/devinesjugband ) and foot stompin' tear-down act The Stairwell Sisters (http://www.stairwellsisters.com/). The evening is presented by veteran troubadour Jimmy Sweetwater ( http://www.jimsweetwater.com/ ), who, after reveling in the local music scene for a couple of decades sees value in finding ways to mine, meld and display the rich and varied musical acts performing around the Bay. Doors open at 8:00, Devine's Jug Band will begin the evening at 9:00, Loretta will offer up a juicy set followed by the Stairwell Sisters rounding out the evening in their inimitable style.

Tickets can be purchased in advance (and we'd love it if they were – it makes us look real good) at: http://www.gamh.com/tickets/ or by calling 1-800-225-2277. Dinner tickets (this covers your gourmet meal and a reserved seat at a table for the night) are available as well. (A sample dinner menu can be viewed here: http://www.gamh.com/info/dinner%20ticket%20menu.html )

To boot, a smaller subset of LL will be hooting an' hollering live on the air on KALX radio Friday night, February 29th (yes – it's leap year!) sometime after 9:00 with DJ Tumbleweed. 90.7 on your FM dial. Rumor has it there'll be an evening appearance on KPFA in early March – we'll keep you posted.

So mark those calendars (that you've undoubtedly purchased since our last missive) in red, permanent sharpie, dig out your stompiest boots, swab out your ears, listen to the radio and spend a little of that upcoming tax rebate on an evening with Loretta and more at the Great American!

Love,

Loretta
