The Liberated Woman’s Songbook
Dawn Landes in collaboration with PineCone, a performing arts venue in Raleigh, NC, host an all-star cast of area musicians reimagining the songs of ‘The Liberated Woman’s Songbook’ on April 14.
‘Dawn found a songbook at a used bookstore years ago and couldn’t put it down. She said, “The songs spoke to me then and lately they’ve been speaking a little louder.” Dawn wanted a stage to bring these songs to life again. The Liberated Woman’s Songbook, an iconic 1970’s publication that chronicles the women’s liberation movement in song from the 1800’s to the 1970’s. “It’s unbelievable how much these stories of women’s struggle with lovers, the system and themselves still ring true today,” says Dawn of the collection.
She’ll be joined by Alice Gerrard, Emily Frantz (of Watchhouse/Mandolin Orange), Rissi Palmer, Charly Lowry, Lizzy Ross (of Violet Bell) and Kamara Thomas.’ - PineCone News
