Benefit Concert for Albuquerque Little Theatre featuring: POEMA New Mexico's own fabulous folk-rockers POEMA returns home from their summer stint on the VAN's WARPED TOUR. Welcome them back at a special ALL AGES concert at the Albuquerque Little Theatre's Sundays @ $ix. All proceeds benefit ALT. Music has always played a key role in the lives of acoustic pop duo POEMA (Po-Em-Uh). Shealeen and Elle, two sisters (19 and 17 years old, respectively) discovered that songwriting is a pretty great vehicle for saying exactly what's on their minds. Growing up in a close-knit family where music was an integral part of life, Shealeen and Elle inevitably followed their musical muses. Shaeleen, classically trained in piano for 11 years, and Elle a self-taught guitarist, have shown immense dedication to perfecting their musical talent and songwriting craft. On their debut release "Sing It Now" (Tooth & Nail) POEMAis full of heart and soul. With song inspiration ranging from a "Pride and Prejudice" moment of hopeless romanticism ("Safe to Say") to an ode to a shall-remained-nameless member of the opposite sex ("Blue Sweater"), to their first video and single, the playful "2 AM", Shealeen and Elle serve up melodic slices of life all in beautiful harmony. After spending their summer vacation on the Van's Warped Tour, POEMA returns home for this very special concert at ALT on Sunday September 19! The show is ALL AGES, starts at 6 PM and tickets are only $6.00. Come check out what the national POEMA buzz is all about.. Sundays @ $ix is produced by Avokado Artists in association with ALT
