Amy X Neuburg & her Cello ChiXtet

Composer, singer, and electronics wizard, Amy X Neuberg and her Cello ChiXtet take the Freight by storm with a performance of Amy's new song cycle, "The Secret Language of Subways." With the accompaniment of cellists Jess Ivry, Elaine Kreston, and Beth Vandervennet, Amy presents songs that examine themes of love, deceit, art, and social responsibility, all observed from a bracingly unique perspective.

Increasingly well known for her wildly entertaining "avant-cabaret" performances, Amy uses her own amazing four-octave voice to construct complex, emotionally intense songs in various styles—from rock to sultry jazz to avant-garde. Combining thought-provoking lyrics, a keen sense of humor, and an undeniable flair for showmanship, Amy's performances are a dizzy mix of complexity, accessibility, and intensity.

Born in Cheltenham, England, Amy received an undergraduate degree in voice from Oberlin Conservatory and an M.F.A. in Electronic Music from Mills College. Currently residing in Oakland, she has performed at clubs, theaters, festivals, and museums world-wide, both solo and in numerous collaborations—notably, with her longtime band, Amy X Neuburg & Men. Her most recent CD is Residue (Other Minds).
