*~Lighthouse Promotions~* was born out of a passion for music and the avant-garde. Wanting to put out in the world what I am hungry for, I am attempting to build a symbiotic community alive with passion and creativity. There are no specific genres represented by LHP, only artists
whose work I believe in and whose artistic values match or inspire mine. LHP has tentacles reaching mainly into San Francisco and Los Angeles, California… but they grow longer every day.
This blog is a way for me to highlight and promote artists who are extraordinary or who deserve more attention than they are receiving. I am always looking for people who enhance and inspire the world around us.

Priscilla Ahn has a sweet, clear voice… she seems to sing effortlessly. She is sincere and lovely… confident, yet modest. Shy, yet commands attention. It’s very refreshing to see someone of this caliber be so down to earth.
I booked Priscilla several times at the Nova Express, but hadn’t seen her perform in over a year. I was pleasantly surprised to see how far she has come.
Priscilla plays guitar, harmonica, and banjo. She also uses live looping to create symphonies with her voice and her instruments. Her band includes a cellist, a stand-up bass player, and a drummer. Everyone in the band was very good, but I was particularly struck by the cellist, Oliver Kraus. It wasn’t just his technical ability… he possesses a rare expressiveness that is absolutely captivating.
I had to fight tears throughout the entire show and I don’t know exactly why. Maybe it was the beauty of her voice, maybe it was just watching something so sincere, maybe it was the interplay between her and the cellist, maybe it was the wine… whatever it was, I want to do it again!
She has one show left as part of her KCRW residency at the Hotel Café and I urge you not to miss it.
