Carol Denney
Wednesday, June 3, 2009
singer, songwriter, and celebrated activist's CD release party
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $18.50

Join Berkeley's own political singer-songwriter extraordinaire Carol Denney for an enlightening evening of quick wit and invigorating tunes! Tonight the spotlight is on Carol's new CD, The Riley Boys, in a gala performance supported by acoustic bassist Steven Strauss, fiddler Kerry Parker, and vocalist and banjo man Jim Nelson. You'll hear the album's title track, "a song about the war dead steeped in West Virginia's gentle way of speaking," as well as "Water Walks" (an evolution gospel song), "the Cell Phone and the Sea" (a lament)...and much much more!

Equally facile on guitar and English concertina, Carol has crafted an inimitable style with her songs of love, joy, and political struggle, delivered in one of the strongest voices to be heard among musicians in the Bay Area. Winner of the East Bay Express' readers' poll for "Best Solo Performer" in 2002, the following year Carol received an award from the City of Berkeley's Commission on the Status of Women for civil liberties activism through music, humor, and art.

Germany-based guitarist and singer, Paul Stowe, opens.
