Name: WAMM 518 Showcase
Start: 2025-12-16T18:30:00-05:00
Location: Ophelia's on Broadway

Women Are Making Music (WAMM) is a group of people inspired to support women artists in the music scene. WAMM 518 showcase is an opportunity to enjoy music from emerging and established women artists from the Capital Region and beyond.
Tuesday, Dec. 16th we continue our series with three incredible musicians! We hope to stick with the 3rd Tuesday of each month going forward!
We are asking a suggested donation of $10, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. All proceeds go to the musicians performing. This is about community and showing up to support live, local music!
WAMM is pleased to partner with Ophelia's On Broadway in Albany, NY to offer you this showcase. Join us and enjoy their hospitality and delicious menu featuring the famous Sliding Dirty sliders! We are grateful to Ophelia's for supporting this WAMM event!
Dec. 16th Performance Schedule!
Host Niki Kaos will kick of the night at 6:45 to warm up the room with a few original tunes! Certain to be a few from the vault rarely performed in public :)
7:00pm - Christine Bilé is an extraordinary singer-songwriter with a compassionate heart and a positive, uplifting message. Her acoustic pop-folk sound, soulful R&B roots, and expressive vocals will captivate you. Rhythmic grooves and well-crafted songs explore the human condition and maybe leave a sentimental tear in your eye.
7:45pm - Marlena J is a singer-songwriter who wrote her first song at age 10. She began making music as a child by copying what she heard on old Hank Williams records, followed by the Beatles and Dylan. Her heartfelt hybrid of country, folk, rock and blues will leave you humming favorite melodies while you're walkin' after midnight.
8:30pm - La'Taunya Renee French is a multi-instrumentalist with a passion for creating music and supporting the local scene. Whether on percussion, keyboards or playing smooth jazz flute you'll hear a delightful and lively groove on every song. Her versatility and improvisational skills deliver a unique and memorable performance at each show.
If the party's still rockin' Niki Kaos will close out the night for you - hey - ya never know! Come hang out with us and support women in music and the 518 music scene!
