Carrie Newcomer Concert

For singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer, beauty is discovered in the midst of the ordinary. In a world that encourages us to move faster and think bigger, Newcomer invites the listener to slow down and reflect on the small things that make life worthwhile. As Rolling Stone wrote, âNewcomer asks all the right questions and refuses to settle for easy answers.â On another level, the listener hears a skillfully arranged and performed collection of folk roots tracks, with Appalachian and classical influences. Newcomerâs style is straightforward and accessible. Overall, she is not afraid to take on serious subjects, and does so with a healthy measure of good humor and self-awareness. For her, âsongwriting is not about being clever, flashy or fancyâit is about telling a compelling story in language and music with elegance and clarity.â The result is a resonant soundtrack for a world that is both sacred and ordinary.
