An Evening of Song, Poetry and Art with
Rebecca Folsom
7:30 p.m. (Doors open at 6:45 p.m.) $12
in adv/$15 day of show. Acousticalley @
Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Avenue.
The light in her eyes must be what Rebecca Folsom is
talking about when she says, "The untamed light is
what lays hidden beneath all those layers of
domesticated 'sit and stay' conditioning." She
laughs, and then adds, "Those are the layers I want
to peel back, to reveal the Shine!"
It's been written of Rebecca that her sound is
sultry, but she might change that word and make it "soultry."
Performing for thousands at Red Rocks and before a
packed house of 6,000 in Nashville sparked faith in
her dreams and forced her to admit that she was
transcending her previously held self-conceptions.
Her career path in music has been organic, growing
from performances at local clubs and coffeehouses,
to raising the bar during her international tour,
playing on BBC in Northern Ireland.
Her songs invite us to reflect on life's choices and
dance with them. Whether she sings a cappella or
with a full band is not the point for Rebecca. A
true professional, she likes to shake things up to
fit the situation and to keep herself fresh. The
important thing is that she wants us to care about
the brilliance of this life. She wants us to remove
whatever dulls us, to climb out of our inhibitions
and, as she says, "Let's be too much!" |
