First to perform is the dynamic Carrie Ashton, offering an acoustic version of her terrific original rootsy rock plus a heapin' helping of her usual charismatic performance style. Next up are the rollicking Randy Bandits.

The band creates catchy, memorable, original material with songs varying in style from soulful funk to straightforward cutting edge rock and much in between. Closing out the evening, will be the brilliant songwriting team of Jen Elliott and Anne Husick, performing songs from Jen's hard-hitting and soulful new EP, This Damn Song to be formally released on April 4. The EP will be available to Red Lion audiences at a special discounted price. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
