The Backroom in Berkeley

An unusual event comes to their stage, – a theatrical presentation by DJ Hamouris, with music and monologues from her personal experience of breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

Jazz guitarist Mimi Fox, a sister-survivor, joins in collaborating on these songs, and both Dan Feiszli (bass) and Michelle Goerlitz (percussion), who performed on the CD, are joining in this celebration of the recording.

Tickets  (see events page for pricing) are available in advance or at the door the night of the show. Doors open one half hour before show time. They accept cash only at the door (ATMs are nearby).

 The Back Room is an all-ages, BYOB (for those 21+) space, dedicated to (mostly) acoustic music of all kinds. You are welcome to bring your own adult beverage. Located at 1984 Bonita Ave. in Berkeley. 510-654-3808.
