She rose to prominence in the 1970s collaborating with artists like Gram Parsons, and has since enjoyed a decades-long career marked by critical acclaim and numerous awards including multiple Grammys.

The Masonic, located at 1111 California Street in San Francisco, is a historic venue originally built in 1868 as a meeting place for Freemasons. It underwent significant renovations in the 1980s transforming it into a performing arts center. The building’s architecture features ornate detailing reflective of its fraternal origins. Today, The Masonic hosts a variety of events including concerts, theatrical performances, and lectures; it is known for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere despite its relatively large capacity of approximately 3,000 seats. The venue maintains many of its original architectural features alongside modern amenities.
