"'Music that challenges and heals'--The Third Way"
Carrie Newcomer lives in the country in Indiana with her husband and two shaggy dogs, and over the last dozen years she's created a remarkable body of songs about human relationships, romantic and otherwise. Newcomer has a deeply inspiring way of weaving her life and her art together, with music, community activism, and personal concerns all playing a role. She's one of those people who exudes a spirituality that's all her own, and she has to be seen in concert to be truly appreciated. Says novelist Barbara Kingsolver: "She's a poet, storyteller, snake-charmer, good neighbor, friend and lover, minister of the wide-eyed gospel of hope and grace." And you can forget all that and just luxuriate in her rich alto voice! Carrie has an album newcomer in the folk bins, "The Geography of Light." Opening for Carrie and her band are Colin O'Brien and the MadWaukee Stompers. Colin O'Brien has been described as Wisconsin’s answer to John Hartford; his show features his fiddling, dancing foot percussion, banjo and guitar playing. He will be presenting selections from his new release "Dancing by the River."
