We are celebrating our 8 year anniversary and are thrilled to host an acoustic trio version of the band The Great American Boxcar Chorus from College Station, TX.
The Great American Boxcar Chorus have entrenched themselves in roots music; second only to a few in their ability to stitch together Country, Western, Rock, Bluegrass, and Gospel into a seam that leaves no chaff.
“…a rich vocal tone like Haggard & guitar-driven Cash-like melodies…a vibrant personality like Roger Miller…full of character and energy…” – Granger Smith
"New co-frontman Eric Fisher’s keening tennor makes for a nice counterpoint with founder Ben Morris’ distinct baritone; together they touch on influences (or at least echoes) of things as disparate as Bo Diddley and Ozzy Osbourne, Johnny Cash and Weezer, tethered together wisely by genre-jumping producer John Evans. Hardly a country band, maybe even barely an Americana one, the GABC still feels like a natural extension of the genre-jumping, dad-joke-spiked direction the last couple of new-material albums Robert Earl Keen released were headed toward." — MIKE ETHAN MESSICK, Lone Star Music Magazine

Artist Statement: I believe art can heal, forge, and redefine relationships – to other people, to the world around us, to ourselves – and this is what I explore in my work. My art practice developed in conjunction with becoming a mother and motherhood, nurturance and hope are common themes. Words are often at the foundation of what I create; song lyrics, fragments of a story or the lines of a poem. The words become guides for building a visual narrative. In all of the work I do, I seek out patterns and symbols, especially symbols rooted in nature.
I am currently pursuing an MFA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I am exploring caregiving, regeneration and the interdependent relationships between people and plants through the media of printmaking, drawing, and community-based art making.
