On May 19, Cabana Gatherings had a fun and festive afternoon concert with Emily Shore and Irina Rivkin. The ladies showed up mid-afternoon on a mild May day to perform for an eager audience in East Sacramento.
After socializing and some snacks and beverages, Emily took the stage and performed a set, showing off her skills on the guitar. After performing for about 25 minutes, Emily relaxed with the guests while Irina entertained us with her amazing vocal talents and her wicked-cool loop station.
Using a small box on the floor, she was able to create, at one point, up to 7 backup singers by looping tracks over and over again and singing along with them. When we’d seen her perform in David several years ago, she didn’t have this snazzy device, and I have to say, it was the highlight of the performance.
Guests were raving about it after she finished performing - technology won the day! But it wasn’t all about technology when Emily brought out her bass guitar. The sound coming from the cool blue guitar was a rumble you could feel deep in your chest. David even turned the bass up a bit so that everyone could feel the vibrations.
Many thanks to Emily and Irina for making the afternoon memorable, and many thanks to everyone who was able to attend and support independent artists.
