SUMMARY:Cris Williamson
DESCRIPTION:Decades before indie labels were the norm\, and years before women had any real access to the industry\, Cris Williamson was busy changing the face of popular music. In 1975\, the 20-something former schoolteacher recorded “The Changer and the Changed” for her brainchild\, Olivia Records\, the first woman-owned\, woman-focused record company. Her music and voice quickly became an essential part of the soundtrack of a movement\, and was the cornerstone of what would become known as “women’s music\,” music created\, performed\, and marketed specifically for and by women. Today\, that recording\, The Changer and the Changed\, remains one of the best-selling independent releases of all time. \nFor Cris\, the music became the vehicle for something larger. Her lyrics appear on a regular basis in books and thesis papers. Her albums are part of the curriculum for women’s studies courses\, and thousands of people who may not even know her name join their voices in “Song of the Soul” around campfires and places of worship. She is embraced by women. She is sampled in hip-hop. Her music is used by midwives welcoming life into the world\, while hospice choirs sing her songs in tender sacred escort. \nToday\, with 31 full albums to her credit\, Cris continues to tour the acoustic circuit adding new material at each juncture. Her performance career includes three sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall and the headlining of many of the great folk festivals\, including Newport\, Kerrville\, Moab and Vancouver. \nCris’s new album\, “Motherland\,” produced by Julie Wolf\, will be released in April 2017. Cris is currently touring the new material\, teaching songwriting\, working with choruses\, enjoying collaboration with fellow artists and\, of course\, continuing her activism at every opportunity. \nPhoto by Irene Young \n$25 advance/ $30 at the door \n
