Saturday Jan 12th 2008 Acoustic Muse Presents...

Catie Curtis

accompanied by Mary Chapin Carpenter's Grammy Winning Producer/Guitarist
John Jennings

with Julie Clark opening

With a clear, deceptively gentle voice, she can turn on a dime and thrill the listener with unforeseen power and emotion. Intricate acoustic picking sometimes slants its way into jazz territory, recalling Joan Armatrading, and her staunchly feminist messages further the comparison. ~RollingStone.com

The Enchanting

Sally Barris

*** Show Time ***

8 PM (doors open at 7:30)

“Sally Barris has a voice like sparkling crystal. You could have knocked me over with a feather the first time I heard her. Her writing is from a deep, yet innocent place, and her point of view is just a bit off center. I am excited for her, she is standing at the beginning of her journey in this town, with all of it ahead of her. It reminds me of the first time I heard Beth Nielson-Chapman or Nanci Griffith. It’s going to be fun to watch.”
— Kathy Mattea

“ Her soulful folk soprano is equal parts mountain rustic and ethereal poet. The slowly building production begins with a gentle rhythm section then bubbles of keyboard and guitar come to the surface creating ripples of pleasure. Everything about this disc is beautiful.”
— Music Row Magazine

“What an amazing voice! Sally Barris has an excruciatingly beautiful voice.”
— Pierce Pettis
