Kentucky Women's Voices

Good afternoon, friends. I had to send out a special email for several special announcements! 

Hope to see you songbirds soon... 

SATURDAY: KENTUCKY WOMEN'S VOICES CONCERT 

 

April 13 / 7 PM. Join us Saturday for an evening of original music and writings from four decades of Kentucky women, singing and musing about home, the land, social justice, politics, the environment, and other matters close to the heart. The performance will take place in Lexington's new home for music and culture, The Kentucky School. Get your tickets now as space is limited! 

From Carla herself:  "There are so many reasons I am looking forward to this show! (But you'd better get your tickets now, as it's a small room! 

1. My amazing daughters, Zoey and Maizie will be showcasing their songwriting chops and vocal/instrumental talents. 
2. The incomparable Jeri Katherine Howell, with whom I've been playing since she was a baby folksinger of 12, will exhibit her prodigious vocal and writing skills. 
3. Fellow Letcher-County homegirl Tiffany Williams is going to lay down her country-grass-Appalachian poetry in musical form. 
4. One of my dearest friends, Bobi Conn, will read excerpts from her gorgeous upcoming memoir, "In the Shadow of the Valley"--take that, J.D. Vance! 
5. This will all take place in the new music school and venue The Kentucky School, started by my good buddy Brett Ratliff and located in downtown Lexington. 

All of this is a bargain at $20 per ticket. But seriously---go get some tickets now, as they won't last!"

Listen to our latest tune and watch us smash whipped cream pies in our faces to raise awareness and funds for SMARD research. Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 is an inherited condition that causes muscle weakness and respiratory failure typically beginning in infancy. Our baby nephew, Brooks, has been diagnosed with this rare disease, and we are reaching out to you for your love and support. For more information and to donate, visit www.smashsmard.org.
