Camellia Boutros Band & Flat SUN Society!

Camellia Boutros is a Lebanese Palestinian multi-instrumentalist, composer, and cultural worker based in San Francisco. Established in the Bay Area music scene as a performer and improviser on trumpet, oud, and electric bass, she developed a fretless 12-string electric guitar as a vehicle for sonic exploration of her own brand of Arab experimentalism. Naming her instrument the “electric oud-guitar,” Camellia writes music rooted in both Arabic Maqam and the Bay Area sound, which reflects her own experience growing up between California and the Levant. An enthralling blend of rock, folk, jazz, hip-hop, and psychedelia, her music defies genre definition. Camellia has performed at many of the Bay Area’s most beloved venues, such as Stern Grove, Yerba Buena Gardens, SF Jazz, The Independent, Yerba Buena Gardens, Rickshaw Stop, The New Parish, The Regency Ballroom, The Ivy Room, Brick and Mortar, The Chapel, Neck of the Woods, The Lab, Boom Boom Room, and Brava Theater. Flat Sun Society finds a new niche of psychedelic rock that integrates polyrhythms, ethereal vocals and guitar improvisation. The band is composed of six friends from Big Sur and Santa Cruz, California who share a love for creating an immersive experience of sound. Their songs can become a journey full of momentous energy and fantastical moments. Their audience dances fluidly and ecstatically, mirroring their music. flatsun.net @flatsunsocietyband
