Yerba Buena Gardens Festival and Women’s Audio Mission bring Local Sirens to the Gardens for an afternoon of dynamic, soulful music. WAM’s Local Sirens is an all-ages performance series that features exceptional Bay Area women and gender-expansive musicians and performers. Local Sirens supports artists who are creating new and innovative work that is representative of the diverse communities of the Bay Area. To date, Local Sirens has presented the work of 75+ local women and gender-expansive artists and reached over 7,500 attendees at venues including The Rickshaw Stop, The New Parish, and more.

This special collaboration event between YBG Festival and WAM features Local Sirens residency artists including the multitalented Sheena Dham, the powerful Kenilworth Katrina, the atmospheric indie soul and folk of August Lee Stevens and the vibrant music of the band, Malli.
