The holidays are fast approaching, and Cris Williamson is comin' to town
for her annual December appearance at the Freight. This year, her special
guest is the renowned wind and ocarina player, Nancy Rumbel. Together,
they will present songs for everyone¹s holiday, a host of old favorites,
and songs from the just-released double CD, Pray,Tell. Expect a few other
pals to join in as well.
Born in Deadwood, South Dakota, raised in the wilds of Wyoming and
Colorado, Cris recorded her first album at the age of 16. In the early
1970s, she inspired the founding of Olivia Records, and helped create an
audience for women's music with her classic album The Changer and the
Changed. Since then, she's gone on to make 30+ albums and perform with
such artists as Meg Christian, Tret Fure, Teresa Trull, Barbara Higbie,
Holly Near. As an advocate for Native Americans, she performed with Bonnie
Raitt, Jackson Browne, Floyd Westerman, and John Trudell on the Water for
Life Tour. For Cris, the music has always been a vehicle for something
larger, the art of the possible, the song of the soul. Experience the
soulful spirit of Cris Williamson and Friends in concert at the Freight.
