Charlie and Annie - Syracuse
Join us for an evening of powerful singing with three of North America's best activist folk singers: Charlie King, Annie Patterson, with Colleen Kattau opening the show! Charlie and Annie are touring together in the midwest in March 2019. Charlie’s witty political satire and his uncanny ability to find endearing songs about struggle and the human experience are a natural fit with Annie's own performing and sing-along work. They are being joined for this concert by Colleen on the final stop of this tour.
Charlie and Annie have often recorded & performed together, including Annie's vocals on Charlie's 2017 CD "Life & Love, Tears & Laughter". They are releasing a new live album "Step by Step" early in 2019 and are taking these songs on the road on this tour. This concert also celebrates the 100th anniversary of Pete Seeger's birth this spring.
Annie, Charlie, and Colleen will be performing together on Sunday, March 31st at the ArtRage Gallery in Syracuse. Note that this is a 3:00 pm show!
Advance tickets are available now for $18. Tickets at the door are $20. No one turned away for lack of funds. Under 18 free. (Note: if you buy a ticket or CD now there will be a "will call" list at the door when you arrive.)
