Women’s Audio Mission Celebrates 15 Year Anniversary with Benefit Concert Featuring St. Beauty, Diana Gameros, and Chulita Vinyl Club
San
Francisco, CA - July 31, 2018– Women’s Audio Mission (WAM), a San
Francisco Bay Area-based nonprofit dedicated to advancing women in music
production and the recording arts, is celebrating 15 years of training
over 12,000 women and girls in the recording arts with a benefit concert
at Brava Theater on September 21, 2018. The concert will feature performances by R&B/pop artists, St. Beauty, currently touring with Janelle Monáe, and Mexican American singer/songwriter Diana Gameros, as well as a cocktail reception with a DJ set by Chulita Vinyl Club.
The event is a fundraiser for WAM’s training programs, which reach the
Bay Area’s most vulnerable communities (96% are low income, 91% are
girls of color). Funds generated will help WAM reach their goal of
training 3,000 women/girls in the recording arts by 2020 in San
Francisco and Oakland, as well as expand services to underserved artists
in WAM’s recording studio, the only one in the world built and run
entirely by women. WAM’s 15 Year Anniversary party will feature a live
auction, live performances, pre and post-concert receptions, and a
special meet-and-greet with the performers for VIP ticket holders.
“WAM is beyond excited to celebrate our 15 year anniversary with our
amazing community of supporters and powerhouse artists, St. Beauty and
Diana Gameros,” said Terri Winston, Executive Director and Founder of
WAM. “Last year, our sold-out fundraising event at Dolby Laboratories
with the legendary drummer Sheila E. raised over $170,000 for WAM,
allowing us to permanently secure our location in San Francisco. We’re
hoping to see the same kind of success at our 15thanniversary event this year.”
St. Beauty
is part of the renowned artistic collective, Wondaland Art Society,
which boasts artists like Janelle Monáe and Jidenna on its roster, and
their music was recently featured on the HBO hit show, Insecure. Diana Gameros has quickly caught the attention of national media – her latest album, Arullo, recorded at WAM, was covered by Billboard, Mother Jones, NPR, and more.
