Robyn Miller Musician, Artist

What event will we find you at this week? I'm having a record release show tonight (Feb. 8) at the fifth FolkYeah Winter Residency at Slim's. (I recently released my debut Big Eagle album, Willow Creek, which you can find here.) I'll be performing along with Ariella Daly, Jason Simon (of Dead Meadow), Farmer Dave Scher, and Jeffertitti's Nile. Get there early; show starts at 8!

Why do you love your neighborhood? The Dogpatch is the best! It's quiet, un-city like, and you can walk to amazing food, drink your way to the Ferry Building for the farmers' market on Saturdays, and stop at The Ramp for burgers on the way home. Also, PARKING!

Where do you go to relax and get away from it all?  Lands End trail, Kabuki Springs & Spa, Saturday morning coffee and cinnamon toast at Trouble Coffee Company, then a mental unwind on Ocean Beach.
