ALL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EVENTS CANCELLED DUE TO COVID 19 UNTIL SEPTEMBER OR LATER
Yep. This is really happening. I was pretty full of myself being able to make it as a full time musician in Seattle. I was absolutely delighted I made most of my income from live performing. I am learning how to adapt. In the meantime, you can catch me live with Emily McVicker every Thursday at 10am PST on Facebook, with our show, "Coffee and Ukes"
Ahamefule J. Oluo's "Susan" cancelled at Paramount due to COVID 19
Marina has been apart of the outstanding show “Susan” for over a year. The show has already traveled to Portland, OR, NYC and College Park, MD. Shows in LA in April have been postponed to November due to COVID 19. You can watch our KEXP studio session of selections from the show:
On January 12, 2020, the New York Times said:
“This latest offering was written by Oluo and his wife, the essayist Lindy West, and belongs to his signature genre: the standup jazz memoir.
...[Aham] delivers personal anecdotes with stealth punch lines that are sandwiched among original compositions. Gleaming with stratospheric brass and propulsive melody, the numbers are performed by a crackerjack seven-piece band (including Oluo on trumpet) and two vocalists (Okanomode and Tiffany Wilson).”
Other band members include: Skerik on tenor sax, Marina Albero on keys, D’Vonne Lewis on drums, Jerome Smith on trombone/sousaphone and Jason Cressey on trombone.
