"This is pure folk music - it doesnt get much better than this." -Folk
Alley Through their immersive creative process and bold
interpretations, Anna & ELIZABETH'S VISIONARY PARTNERSHIP PIONEERS NEW
WAYS OF PRESENTING OLD SONGS AND STORIES TO MODERN AUDIENCES. Since
2011, with a deep and shared love of old Appalachian music, they stand
at the vanguard of tradition and the avant-garde, transforming
traditional music with innovative, modern arrangements. The magic of
this duo comes from the unique strengths of each artist: ELIZABETH
LAPRELLE, lauded as the finest traditional singer of her generation,
is rooted in rural Virginia and a lifetime of singing ballads. Master
instrumentalist and band arranger Anna Roberts-Gevalt's musical path
has led her from the kitchens of Kentucky banjo elders to sessions in
Brooklyn's thriving experimental music world. Anna & ELIZABETH ARE
TOURING IN SUPPORT OF THEIR FORTHCOMING RELEASE, The Invisible Comes
to Us (March 30, 2018), a continuing progression of their evolving
sound. Their captivating performance which integrates visual art and
movement with breathtaking harmonies is not to be missed. Providence,
RI-based folk artist Ian FITZGERALD OPENS THE SHOW. Hailed as "the
songwriter's songwriter" by the Newport Folk Festival, Ian has
crisscrossed the country, performing in 39 states over the past two
years as both a solo act and as the leader of Ian FITZGERALD &
Something Else. With five albums of skillfully composed original
material to his name, Ian has shared the stage with Iris DeMent, Joan
Shelley, Willy Mason, Darlingside, The Ballroom Thieves, and many
more. This show is part of the WARREN Sessions presented by Common
Fence Music at Hope & Main in WARREN, RI. Doors open at 7:30pm, show
