Soundwaves: Anna Homler

The Santa Monica Public Library’s Soundwaves new music series welcomes performance artist Anna Homler on Saturday October 7, at 3:30PM, in the Main Library’s Martin Luther King Jr. Auditorium at 601 Santa Monica Blvd. A legend of the LA underground, and recently celebrated internationally for the reissue of her Breadwoman album, Homler sings in invented languages and frees the sonic personalities of unlikely objects. She is joined for this performance by electronic musician Jorge Martin, who sometimes performs as Spastic Colon, and Soundwaves organizer Jeff Schwartz on string bass. Since 2016, Soundwaves has presented free concerts at the Santa Monica Public Library, supported by the Friends of the Santa Monica Public Library and the Amphion Foundation. It draws on Los Angeles’ broad history of creative music and has included collaborations with the Angel City Jazz Festival, Piano Spheres, Jacaranda, Microfest, Cold Blue Music, and the Dog Star Orchestra. Visit soundwavesnewmusic.com for more information, including videos of many past shows. All Library programs are free and open to the public. Parking is available underneath the Main Library, several bus lines and the Metro E line stop nearby, and there are bike racks. The MLK Auditorium is wheelchair accessible. Please call (310) 458-8600 to request additional accommodations.
