Shawna Virago (General Manager) twists together insurgent country and punk roots rock, creating anthems for a new generation. Bucking the bigotry of mainstream music, Virago is one of the true pioneers of tranny rock. Her tuff and vulnerable lyrics dig deep at police brutality, the economic marginalization of transgender people and life lived on the sweet continuum of being trans. With her cigarette-singed vocals and school of hard knocks guitar playing, Virago’s songs punch out in-your-face sex and politics. One part poetess, one part ice queen and one part honky-tonk glamour girl, Virago is a Bay Area icon. Virago is also Director of TrannyFest, the acclaimed transgender film and video festival. www.shawnavirago.com

Eric Garcia (Production Intern) Originally from San Jose, Eric found his way into the SF dance scene in 2008 as a Performing Arts and Social Justice student at the University of San Francisco.

He is the Co-Artistic Director of detour dance, teaches beginning modern at Avenue Dance Studio, and currently dances with 13th Floor Dance Theater.
