Luigi's Fungarden on 20th Street will be playing host to an album release party for one of Sacramento's homegrown songstresses, Autumn Sky, Friday, April 24. Also on the bill are The Early States and Adrian Bourgeois.

Autumn Sky (whose lyrical name is, amazingly, not a pseudonym) has been working on her first album, entitled All Which Isn't Singing, since 2007, and its release on the 24th will be the latest milestone in a lifelong musical journey. Sky can boast of having danced with Santa Barbara alt-rockers Toad the Wet Sprocket while still a toddler, proficiency with 14 instruments, and an appearance on NPR Sacramento's Insight program.

It would be easy to describe Sky's music as folk-pop and leave it at that, and indeed the melodic guitars and Sky's almost-warbled vocals are reminiscent of a host of acts painted with that brush, but there is a wry sense of humor and self-awareness in many of her songs that warrant a second, or even third, look.

In a live performance this humor is even more visible – in Sky's banter with the audience and in her self-deprecating introductions to her songs.

"I have a really big John Denver fetish," she confesses before launching into a cover of Leaving On A Jet Plane.

In addition to her album release show at Luigi's, Sky will be appearing on KDVS radio's Cool as Folk program on the 17th, and on the 22nd, she will appear at both CSUS, for a music video fundraiser, and return to NPR's Insight for a performance/interview.

Her MySpace page features several of her songs, as well as more information about show times.
