February is a solo month. I’ve got three solo performances with no looper. I’m taking it back to the roots with acoustic sets. February 12th is at the awesome Lost Church in San Francisco. It’s a singer-songwriter’s paradise! February 16th will be a great belated Valentines event if you’re up for it, at Vino Locale in Palo Alto. February 21st I’m playing at the notorious Michael’s on Main in Santa Cruz. Look to the right on this page for more info on all those dates. See you out there!
I’m on a Bus Again!
Yep. My image is on San Francisco buses again! Not only that, but Amy & The Elements is opening up the Yerba Buena Night Festival on the main stage. We play on October 13th at 5:30pm sharp, in Jesse Square, San Francisco. It’s a free festival and it’s loaded with entertainment and art for four hours. Come out and see us!
New Music Video by Evan Morrison
A good friend of mine, Evan Morrison, came up with a music video idea for one of my songs while attending a concert. He presented the idea to me last year and I was ecstatic. He then proceeded to write, direct, and manage the whole video. And it is now complete! It’s spreading pretty quickly on social media right now. The message is clear, and very important I think for the current times. Let me know what you think!
Birthday Show!
This Friday I’m having a huge show in San Francisco with my band, Amy & The Elements. Rafael Bustamante Sarria (of La Gente SF) is opening. He’s incredibly talented, energetic, and not to be missed! If you’re anywhere near The City you should definitely make your way over to be part of this special event. Tickets are donation based on a sliding scale of $10-$15 and you can donate here at Eventbrite.
Full Band Show in SF Saturday March 24th!
It’s just a little over a week away! Next weekend, Saturday, the 24th, my full band is playing at El Rio in San Francisco. If you live in the Bay Area, I highly recommend coming out for this show! I don’t know when my band will be able to play outside SF, so for now, this is where you can find us.
Make a night of it. There are several delicious restaurants on the same street as the venue. It’s my neighborhood so I know it well! Doors open at 9pm and we will play at 10pm for about an hour so it’s gonna be a late show. Uncle Riffkin goes on after us for their CD Release Party. They are Roots Rock with great, feel-good vibes! El Rio is a fun neighborhood bar and an SF staple for the LGBTQ crowd.
Make sure to get a ticket here!

Surprise! The Band is Recording.
We’ve been talking about it in theory for a long time, and then “Bam!”, the opportunity arose to record this Friday. So without much planning or forethought, Amy & The Elements will start recording this Friday. I will be making some video of the recording process in studio and my Patrons on Patreon will be able to see those videos. They will also receive pre-release content. Can’t wait to start this new endeavor and share it with you! To become a Patron and get perks please visit this link! www.patreon.com/amyobenski
Looking for Extras – New Music Video
We are looking for Extras to participate in a Music Video shoot next weekend! You can be in my video! Please send me an email at contactamy[at]obenski.net if interested. My good friend, Evan Morrison, came up with the idea and is thoroughly dedicated to making it happen.
The script is thought provoking, relevant for today’s current issues in the U.S. and slightly controversial! If you’d like to know more about the premise or to help us fund the project please visit the fundraising link. There’s a video there where we explain more.
