Aimee Mann's successful solo career has spanned across several critically acclaimed albums, including the massively popular soundtrack for the film Magnolia, which garnered her an Academy Award nomination for Best Song in 2000. Time magazine has said of her, "Mann has the same skill that great tunesmiths like McCartney and Neil Young have: the knack for writing simple, beautiful, instantly engaging songs." Aimee's new album, @#%&*! Smilers (SuperEgo Records), was released in June, 2008. In the heart of the revitalized Downtown Los Angeles district, fans packed into the breathtaking former Archdiocese cathedral Vibiana for a rare, intimate set by Aimee Mann with a stripped-down, trio line-up. Built in 1876, the historic building's Baroque white hall provided a stately setting for this special benefit concert, as Aimee treated Artists Den guests to favorites such as "Save Me" and "Goodbye Caroline" - and a first look at her forthcoming album, @#%&*! Smilers.
