Nov. 18: Regulars and Refugees -- An Evening with Carrie Newcomer


Song and conversation with one of Indiana's great artists in one of Indiana's great theatres

When: Friday 18 November, 7:30-9:30 PM

Where: The Royal Theater, 59 S. Washington, Danville, IN

A concert with renowned Hoosier folk singer/songwriter/poverty activist Carrie Newcomer will allow adults and youth to explore what it means to be moving and/or staying through the song-stories of the regulars and refugees at Betty’s Diner. Throughout her career, Newcomer has mined the foibles and ecstasies of the human condition and come up with gems of songs that reveal the divine and the sublime in us all. Says Newcomer. “The songs focus on relationships and the human story. They are about sorrow and joy, humor and despair, loss and hope. Things we cherish and things we always grieve. This is a collection about the human condition, as I know it.”

You can hear snippets of Newcomer’s songs at her website: www.carrienewcomer.com.
