Women of Americana

Join us for a heartfelt celebration of early folk, gospel, and Western swing music. This isn’t just a multi-media concert—it’s an exuberant exploration of this expansive and singular American genre that planted the roots of American music featuring vocalists and instrumentalists Cristina Vane and Brennen Leigh. The performance includes songs made famous by iconic artists like Brandi Carlile, Emmy Lou Harris, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton and more. Titles like “Blowin’ In The Wind” (Joan Baez),“Angel From Montgomery” (Bonnie Raitt), “Car Wheels On A Gravel Road” (Lucinda Williams), “Can The Circle Be Unbroken” (The Carter Family), and more. Featured artist Cristina Vane, a singer-songwriter, slide guitar, and clawhammer banjo player, is a product of merging numerous worlds. Vane ingeniously blends her heavier roots in classic rock and 90s indie, with her passion for pre-war blues, old time fiddle banjo music, country and bluegrass. The concert co-stars Brennen Leigh, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist on guitar and mandolin, who’s to-the-point storytelling style has elevated her to cult icon status.
