An Evening of Songs and Stories with Amy Speace

For one special evening, Amy Speace brings her “Words and Music” tour to The Back Room, offering a performance that merges her signature songs with readings from her debut poetry collection, The Cardinals. The show unfolds like a living storybook—equal parts concert, conversation, and literary experience. Audiences can expect beautifully arranged folk‑Americana, intimate storytelling, and selections from her new poetry collection that deepen the emotional arc of the night. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Children under 12 are free. Advance tickets are available here, or if the show is not sold out, you may purchase your tickets at the door before the show. Doors open 30 minutes before show time. We accept cash or Venmo only at the door. The Back Room is an all-ages, BYOB (for those 21+) space, dedicated to (mostly) acoustic music of all kinds. You are welcome to bring your own food and beverages. The venue is ADA accessible. If you need more information or have any questions, please call us: #510-381-1997.
