Kathy Mattea

Where: Birchmere

Date: 2007-10-21 19:30:00

Type:

Kathy Mattea is an accomplished singer/songwriter in the country vein with a touch of Joni Mitchell-influenced folk. Some of her hits include 'Goin' Gone' and 'Where've You Been.' Alt-country singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier exploded onto the scene in 1999 following her self-released sophomore effort, 'Drag Queens in Limousines.' The album, which garnered her a Crossroads Silver Star and a four-star rating in Rolling Stone, had critics comparing her self-described "country noir" to the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, John Prine, and, not surprisingly, Lucinda Williams. The success of 'Drag Queens...' led to main-stage shows at festivals around the country and multiple tours in Europe. Embraced by critics, folkies, and "No Depression" fans alike, Gauthier's warmly candid treatment of her fringe-dwelling subjects rings true, as it never verges on sentimental; her characters' downtrodden lives are never coldly exploited.

Date: 2007-12-02 19:30:00

Type:

Suzy Bogguss did her first tour out of an old camper truck, driving from town to town and working the local music clubs and coffee houses. She's come a long way since then; she's a top-flight Nashville country singer/ songwriter working with the likes of Chet Atkins, Steve Dorff and her husband Doug Crider, and nine studio albums and a command performance for President Clinton and Mrs. Clinton are just a few of many career high notes.
