IVY ROOM PRESENTS SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH — MR CINDY & THE SECRET EMCHY SOCIETY ASHLEIGH FLYNN & THE RIVETERS CORNER PONIES — Doors 2:00pm / Show 3:00pm Advance Tickets Available / $18 door IVY ROOM 860 San Pablo Ave, Albany • 21+ — MR CINDY & THE SECRET EMCHY SOCIETY — Secret Emchy Society has been named by TheBoot.com as one of the Ten Queer Country Bands for Real Country Music Fans to Listen To, a quadruple nominee for Best Live Band by the Bay Area Reporter, is featured in the documentary Lavender Outlaws, and landed in End of Year 'Best Of' lists from No Depression, Concert Hopper, and the Atlanta Auditory Association. Their raw, honest, and authentic listening experience is a welcome middle finger to modern country, offering up a brand of smoke-filled honky-tonk that's traditional as they come -- albeit delivered with a fiery, punk disposition. Lead singer Cindy Emch, sometimes known as the 'First Lady of Queer Country' is known for her distinct voice and ability to blend Americana, California Country, Hellbilly, Goth, and Honky Tonk, spinning radically distinctive tales from her singular perspective. NoDepression says "One could describe Emch as if Nick Cave had grown up in Bakersfield with a dynamic swagger that could part the Red Sea." ASHLEIGH FLYNN & THE RIVETERS — West Coast-based, Americana rock n roll band, Ashleigh Flynn & The Riveters released their new album "Good Morning, Sunshine" on April 4th, 2025, and are taking their collection of new songs on the road. Recently signed to LA-based, Blackbird Record Label, the all-female band finds joy and connection with music fans via their energized live show and ability to “shred as well as the boys do.” ​ Technical musical skills aside, there are compelling layers throughout Flynn’s seasoned songwriting that shed light on the human corners of darkness and in turn, uplift listeners in the same way her favorite artists have done for her. Some of those heroes Flynn has had the opportunity to share the stage with, such as Willie Nelson, Todd Snider, The Wood Brothers, Hayes Carll, Amy Ray, and Nanci Griffith. Flynn grew up primarily around the South in Kentucky and Virginia, cutting her musical teeth on bluegrass, Motown and rock n roll. CORNER PONIES — New band with Marco Baroz & friends
