This is an unusual concert for Caffe Lena. It's a tribute show--to two of the most glorious singers in all of Folkdom, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell. It takes extraordinary talent to do justice to their familiar and beloved songs, and Allison Shapira and Kipyn Martin from Washington, DC are equal to the task. Martin was honored with a 2015 WAMMIE for New Artist of the Year. John Gorka called her "a beauty of a singer," and critics far and wide have praised the poetry in her lyrics and vocal style.
Shapira is an internationally trained opera singer (who earned an MPA from Harvard on the side) and is a long-time fan of folk revival musicians, most especially Joan Baez.
Along with two gorgeous voices and conservatory chops, the power of this tribute comes from their authenticity as performers and their ability to make the old join hands with the new by sprinkling in original songs that draw on the core spirit of Joan and Joni.
