Description
Join us for an inspiring and heartfelt celebration of early folk, country, gospel, and Western swing music! This isn’t just a concert—it’s an exuberant exploration of this singular American genre that planted the roots of American music. Featuring vocalists and instrumentalists Cristina Vane and Brennen Leigh, the show includes songs made famous by iconic artists like Brandi Carlile, Emmy Lou Harris, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton and more, and titles like Blowin’ In The Wind (Joan Baez), Angel From Montgomery (Bonnie Raitt), Car Wheels On A Gravel Road (Lucinda Williams), and more. The musical celebration coincides with the historic milestone in our nation’s history – the upcoming Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary of the United States’ founding).
