VICTORIA VOX...with special operetta guests LILA BLOOM. A big time exhibit of voice and instrument and lots of smiles and laughs from Victoria Vox.

Victoria Vox only comes to California once per year and her fave spot is The Coffee Gallery Backstage. She has an enthusiastic following of admirers and she is cute and funny and does great things with the uke. She is featured at ukelele festivals all over America. Victoria Vox says that sad songs are harder to come by on the ukulele. Actually, there are a couple of heartbreak themes on her newest album, Chameleon, but surrounded by the ukulele and other contemporary sounds, the end result is a bright and enchanting pop record.

LILA BLOOM...An eerie voicemail left at the wrong number sparked the story for the project now called Lila Bloom, which focuses on a lover looking back on the inception, growth, and demise of a relationship. An operetta of sorts featuring haunting yet sultry vocals by the part of the female lover, and equally stinging guitar licks by the part of the male lover, Lila Bloom has a sound all its own.

Lila Bloom is a Denver-based act with roots in Jazz, Folk, and Alternative Rock. The band performs the original "Say You'll Stay" operetta; a project sparked in May 2008 when an eerie voicemail left by an old woman ("Eloise") at the wrong number spoke of dreams, love, and death by "little songs". Eloise is scattered throughout the lyrics of the operetta, watching over the two lovers as they look back over the inception, growth, and demise of their relationship.


Lila Bloom performs the sultry vocals of the operetta, while the stinging licks of the guitar intertwine. It creates a harmony that caresses the audience and entices each person want to "stay the night". Ken Crow plays the guitar, Aaron Ainbinder plays bass, and Emily backs up Ms. Bloom's vocals, adding a haunting echo and harmony to the operetta.

A sultry passion play of music in just under an hour. A fine two act show.

Sunday, October 25. ShowTime: 7:00 P.M. Tickets: $18
