TRUE LOVE WAITS with MegaFlame

  • The Sound Room 3022 Broadway Oakland, CA, 94611 United States (map)

Let yourself be enveloped in a strange and beautiful evening of Tom Waits songs and stories selected from Rain Dogs, Blue Valentine, Alice, and The Heart of Saturday Night.

San Francisco band MegaFlame is a throwback to a bygone era — with an edgy modern twist. Sepia toned. Think 1920’s film siren meets Tom Waits. MegaFlame's love for not only storytelling, but creating a unique nostalgic vibe come from years of studying the tarnished elegance of Billie Holiday, the whimsical smirk of Fats Waller, and the full throttle kick of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. MegaFlame is a six-piece band that deftly re-imagines some of our favorite music from ’20s through the ’00s into a night of jazzy, bluesy cabaret.

“A fantastic band… sexy and sleek.” —Huffington Post
