Kacey Johansing's 49 Hours
an Francisco musician Kacey Johansing (ex-member of bay area band Geographer) creates songs with wandering melodies, lush harmonies and moody aural landscapes. Weaving together elements of folk, jazz, pop and classical music, it sounds as if she spent years studying in old smoky theaters with icons Leonard Bernstein and Joni Mitchell directing the show, and The Beach Boys in the orchestra pit. A soulful, honeyed voice and lilting vibrato land her the leading role. Johansing’s forthcoming release and decidely darker sophomore LP, Grand Ghosts, grapples with loss, paying homage to loved ones who passed during the making of the record. It's out February 26th, 2013.
Catch the Kacey Johansing at the Great American Music Hall March 2.
1. Twin Peaks
There may be no better place to view the city than here. This set of high peaks is located near the geographical center of the city, offering stunning 360-degree panoramic views of this beautiful city and the bay and ocean beyond.
2. El Buen Sabor
El Buen Sabor is authentic Mexican food in the heart of the Mission. It's so authentic, it doesn't even have a website. This taqueria is none for their countless vegetarian and vegan options. It's my favorite mission burrito spot.
697 Valencia Street
3. Marin Headlands
Across San Francisco Bay from the city, the Marin Headlands rise above the water to offer panoramic views. Here, you can capture the bridge, Alcatraz and the downtown area all in a single image.
