Presented by Brain Dead at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Auditorium
Featuring Performances by Faye Webster and Mei Ehara
Last Saturday, September 28
Following Faye Webster’s sold out show at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley September 27, Another Planet Entertainment and Brain Dead presented a special “Faye Webster YoYo Invitational” at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall on Saturday, September 28.
Calling on Webster’s longtime love and practice of yoyoing, this special event saw over a dozen of the world’s best yoyo masters showcase their skills in a no-rules, no-limitations exhibition of their best tricks and routines. Hosted by Benét, Faye Webster and Brain Dead’s Kyle Ngd, the event featured mind-blowing yoyo performances interspersed with a performance by Mei Ehara and Webster herself.
Josh Lee from Spindox Yo-Yo Club shares: “It was great to see the two worlds of yoyo and Faye’s fans come together to create an awesome show that brought out people from all around to share a collaborative passion!”
Another Planet Entertainment’s VP of Concerts, Eric Barleen adds, “It was incredible to be a part of such a unique show celebrating the yoyo community. You could tell having an artist like Faye set a stage and platform for these talented return toppers meant so much to these fans.”
ABOUT FAYE WEBSTER
Faye Webster loves the feeling of a first take: writing a song, then heading to the studio with her band to track it live the very next day. When you listen to the Atlanta songwriter’s poised and plainspoken albums, you can hear why: she channels emotions that are so aching, they seem to be coming into existence at that very moment.
“One of my favorite things about songwriting is taking thoughts that people don’t really think are worthy, or might overlook, and highlighting them,” Webster says. “I like saying things that everybody thinks, but nobody’s saying”.
At any given moment, Webster might be making country-tinged indie rock flecked simultaneously by pedal steel guitar and modern R&B production and songwriting techniques–a bespoke sound which has won her ardent fans and turned her into something of a stealth superstar beloved by everyone from southern hip-hop heads and alt-rock tastemakers.
The title of Faye Webster’s new album is inspired by her occasional compulsion to lose herself amongst concertgoers at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Craving company and distraction but also leaning into the anonymity of a bustling crowd, Webster often bought a ticket to a performance at the last possible second. “Going to the symphony was almost like therapy for me,” she says. “I was quite literally underdressed at the symphony because I would just decide at the last moment that that’s what I wanted to do. I got to leave what I felt like was kind of a shitty time in my life and be in this different world for a minute.”
