Phenomenal Woman - Female Songwriters and the Women Who Inspire Them
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Singer-songwriters LaRhonda Steele, Bre Gregg (Red Bird), Beth Wood and Ara Lee James (Stand and Sway) are sharing the stage for the first time to take on the music of their sheroes – – the women who inspired them to start writing.
This will be an intimate concert in which the audience is invited on a journey to peel back the layers of performance and learn why these women started writing, including vulnerable stories about their process.
In addition to music by LaRhonda, Bre, Beth and Ara, you will hear songs by Carol King, Etta James, Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt, Patty Griffin, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone. If you listen closely to their music played next to the music of these famous songbirds, it is undeniable that their songs were shaped by hours of listening and absorbing each lyric and note.
With support from Leah Hinchcliff and Dan Gildea.
This performance is part of the 2019 Siren Nation Music and Arts Festival.
