Morgan Manifacier, Roem Baur, and Art Elliot at Vitus!

Description

Manifacier is a singer-songwriter who grew up in the small-town brushes of southern France, learning piano and guitar from a young age. From France he moved to California, where he joined a community of local musicians with whom he could expand his ideas of song-writing and begin to form the tracks that would eventually become a collection of songs that slowly burn into a fire-pit of sensational melodies. The delicacy of Manifacier's material was partly down to inspiration, party to environment, many of the songs being born and developed in coffee shops across The Valley, where he would woo crowds in two languages through his yielding, mournful voice and unconditional passion.

Roem Baur is a San Francisco based singer/songwriter who first began singing his heartfelt songs in the agriculturally rich small town of Modesto, California. After a short stint as an award-winning stage actor Baur exploded onto the local music scene scene, becoming a fixture at open mic and cafes in the Central Valley and SF Bay Area. With his opera trained voice and soulful acoustic sound, he was soon playing to thousands at festivals and traveling all over the world, playing to small crowds in Thailand, Mexico, Belize, and Argentina, where he recently wrote and recorded with local musicians. And all of this has been accomplished independently, without the help of labels or management, with only the support of his grassroots fan base. Whether it be overseas, or across the street, his preferred venue has always been the houses of friends and fans, which is how he recently released his first album, in a living room, just a few blocks from the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

Art Elliot sings of apocalyptic futures, lost loves, bleak ice ages and depression-era folk art, among other topics. Fashioning himself as a modern day alchemist Art transmutes popular music to the experimental, jazz to power pop and folk to blues. His tropes are cryptic messages etched into the ether for a generation deaf and droned out to their portable electronic listening devices.
