INTRODUCING APRIL DAY 🖤🐈‍⬛🤍

🎵 tickets in bio, all ages
🚪 doors 6:30pm, music 7pm
🐈‍⬛ $10 adv $15 day of show
🧷 dress code: goth

April Day is a Bay Area–based indie/indie rock artist whose music blends sincerity, charm, and a touch of the delightfully awkward. Her stage name is inspired by two sitcom characters: April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation and Jessica Day from New Girl. Like her namesakes, April Day brings a whimsically offbeat spirit to her music and performances, creating a world that feels both earnest and playfully unexpected.
