Friday, June 5 - 8pm  ----IN CONCERT ----$12 - call 651-645-2647  "Edie Carey may have started out wanting to be a doctor but she found her true calling in music. Her pop-folk songs are smart tales of love, life and longing." - Chicago Sun Times On her fourth studio album, 'Another Kind of Fire,' Edie Carey demonstrates why she is an in-demand performer. In the tradition of Dar Williams, her songs strike a universal chord, her voicing is soothing, yet strong, and the arrangements never fail to have an emotional impact. Songs such as 'Bonfire,' 'My Heart' and 'Hollywood Ending' qualify Carey as the Shawn Colvin of her generation. - Bay Area Reporter |
