Maybeck Studio in Berkeley presents: Heart Matter (vibraphone & vocal duo)

Doors: 2:30 PM, Show: 3:00 PM

About the artists:

Heart Matter is a band that makes direct eye contact with the human experience.

Co-led by vocalist Amy D and vibraphonist Dillon Vado, the two composers share a kinship and collaborative spirit; weaving emotionally-chromatic journeys through song. This intimate concert will feature a pared-down duet centering the message and memorable melodies of these songs with just voice and vibraphone.

Their original music combines the improvisatory ethos of jazz and the intentionality of chamber music, presenting an innovative take on the singer-songwriter paradigm. Audiences have been known to experience laughter, tears, and deep self-reflection at Heart Matter shows, often describing the music as…

“Fiery and exciting” “Deep, elegant, honest” “The meeting point of impeccable musicianship and catharsis”

The lyrical depth of Heart Matter speaks to fans of Joni Mitchell and Becca Stevens, while the virtuosic arranging and execution echoes Steely Dan, Esperanza Spalding, and The Bad Plus. More than anything, Heart Matter seeks to share transformative music with those who need to hear it, offering a remedy for the trance of modern life and a sacred space to feel it all.

About the venue:

The Maybeck Studio for the Performing Arts is a small performance space located in a private home in the Berkeley hills, built in 1914 by Bernard Maybeck. The studio has a rich tradition of musical performances dating back over 100 years.
