About the event
Sixth generation San Francisco-born singer-songwriter-instrumentalist Essence grew up in Haight-Ashbury the daughter of two flower children, beginning her musical journey when gifted a notebook by her father. She put that to good use, along with a ubiquitous Walkman, learning her craft from classic story-telling singer-songwriters like John Prine, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Carole King, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Emmylou Harris and Bob Dylan to current tunesmiths Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch. “All my songs come from life—I write what I know’ through feast and famine, the highs and lows. Music is my North Star. It’s my prayer and the path I walk, until my last breath.”
