With a soft spoken voice emanating shyness she speaks to me before and after her set. With a haunting voice layered with sadness and honesty she sings to us during it.

In ten years of operation, Tiny Telephone has become one of the crown jewels of Bay Area music, and its founder John Vanderslice one of our indie rock heroes. Countless groups have recorded at the studio, and it’s served as a destination for some of the biggest bands while remaining affordable and accessible for the local community. Beyond all of that, it’s an amazing space full of great gear, and we were pleased to spend a day there in September recording for The Bay Bridged, Volume 2.
