Carrie Newcomer
is a warm and welcome friend of The Blue Moon. Carrie
returns with new songs and stories that are accessible,
elemental and wrapped up with that voice. The
Indianapolis Star has said, Shes a vocalist that
has an impressive range, fluidly moving from a caress to an
indictment. This woman who can growl or coo is a triple
treat. A singer-songwriter who is a dynamic performer
and able to touch audiences in a very personal way, Carrie
delights listeners with her Midwestern storytelling and
humor. She has been reviewed as amazing, haunting, strong
but subtle, virtuoso, literary and poetic.
Carrie's return to the Blue Moon with new songs from a
collection to be released in February, 2010---her eleventh
for Rounder/Philo and twelfth overall. Fans eagerly awaiting
new work from Carrie will be richly rewarded---matching the
lyrical revelations is a musical bedrock drawn from elements
of bluegrass, folk, blues, and classical styles, but
sounding in the end like nothing but Carrie Newcomer. This
night of music promises to be magical with all of the
insight, artistry and wonder that is Carrie Newcomer.
Barbara Kingslover says of Carrie, Carrie Newcomer is
much more than a musician. Shes poet, storyteller,
snake-charmer, good neighbor, friend and lover, minister of
the wide-eyed gospel of hope and grace. All this, and she
comes with a voice that declares, Sit down a while and
listen. Who could ask for more? Certainly not her fans
at the Blue Moon Coffeehouse! Her national audience
continues to grow--and she still comes back to play
The Blue Moon Coffeehouse. Come on you to this special CD
release show for "Before and After," and welcome
Carrie back to the Blue Moon Coffeehouse--arguably, the
venue that she built! To learn more about Carrie Newcomer,
