New Album Release Show in NYC @thebitterendnyc August 1st! Check their website for tickets! On Sale Now! Album Release Notice: Covering My Brothers (Shagrat Records 10” Vinyl LP ENT 026) Bridget St. John Singer/songwriter/guitarist, Bridget St. John releases a brand new 10” mini-album, Covering My Brothers Following numerous reissues of her impressive back catalogue and various recent live recordings, Shagrat Records are proud to present a themed four-track mini album, Covering My Brothers. When Bridget started out in the music business in the late 1960s, she had few female allies on the folk and rock circuit. Championed by the late DJ, John Peel, Bridget found herself performing on very male-dominated bills but quickly forged ties with her fellow musicians. Sharing stages with them, Bridget soon proved herself their equal and her encounters with them led to lifelong friendships. As Bridget says, ‘I grew up with sisters but found my brothers through music... our connections date back decades and lasted for their lifetimes... these are my interpretations of songs written by four of them’. Side 1 Michael Chapman’s ‘Aviator’ Side 2 • Nick Drake’s ‘Fly’ • John Martyn’s ‘Head and • Kevin Ayers ‘Jolie Madame’ taken in The Bitter End by @bridgetstjohn

Coming to our stage this Thursday, April 10, is a rare, stars must be aligned, pairing of two revered legends in their own time - Evie Sands and Bridget St. John. Two triple-threat singer-songwriter-instrumentalists sharing one stage promises across-career highlights and delights - meaningful, memorable, illuminating and sly fun. Although these two cherished icons of Northern Soul (Evie) and British "Psych Folk" (Bridget) may appear to be continents and genres apart, their free-spirits feel connected, with both sirens possessing treasured singular voices within the music biz cacophony who have managed to persevere, staying true to their artful paths with a multitude of grace and with both still full-on creatively - hence the tour's title - "A Woman's Work Is Never Done." Get your tickets now, and be sure to tune in to KALX 90.7FM this Wednesday (4/9) at 12:30pm for an interview & acoustic performance from both Evie Sands & Bridget St. John, hosted by Sex 14s.  #thechapelsf #eviesands #bridgetstjohn #sanfrancisco #bayarea #livemusic #concert #missiondistrictsf #folkYEAH #folkYEAHevents #kalx #kalxradio taken in The Chapel by @bridgetstjohn
