Amy Arani at the Ventura Theater
I was lucky enough to catch local yoga teacher Amy Arani at the SoCal Musician showcase at the Ventura Theater Friday night. Amy plays piano and was backed by three Ojai musicians (Will Makiling on drums, Chris Foley on guitar, Dave Anter on bass) for most of her set. Amy's rich voice reminded me at times of Natalie Merchant, Cher, Sarah MacLachlan, Siouxie Sioux (remember the Banshees?) with a touch of Tori Amos.
Comparisons aside, her voice is fantastic. Amy will be graduating from UCSB in a couple of weeks and hopefully focusing more on her music. Meantime you can visit her at http://www.myspace.com/amyarani . She's playing this Wednesday at the Experimental Cafe in Oxnard at 9:45pm.

Amy is one of my favorite
Yoga instructors from Lulu's
if I were to have a favorite, which
is no easy choice. Why am I not surprised of the sweet
notes resonating out
of that registration?
