Jan 30 – Feb 5

Singer-songwriter, troubadour and musical alchemist Kris Delmhorst likes to write songs from the inside out. Songs that she doesn’t know the answer to, and sometimes doesn’t even know what the question is yet. Her soulful, thoughtful and richly entertaining music is called “bold and brilliant” by the Boston Globe and “transcendent” by the LA Times. She’s been compared to Anaïs Mitchell, Lucinda Williams, and Juana Molina – though she cites Rickie Lee Jones, in all her fearless joy and complexity, as an artistic north star. Delmhorst’s folk soundscape is open and honest, celebrates vulnerability, and offers listeners gentle motivation when she sings “Keep on pushing and you’ll find a way through.”

Celebrated Capital Region musician Thomasina Winslow was known for putting mettle to the American roots pedal in her fusion of acoustic guitar-driven Delta blues and pop. She passed away unexpectedly in January. She was one of the few African-American women producing records for indie artists, including for herself. Winslow earned an Eddies’ Music Award nomination in 2019 for Blues Artist of the Year. Her band, Nite Train, celebrates her life and legacy with a buoyant combination of rockin’ blues, funk & R&B.
