CARRIE NEWCOMER & STRING QUARTET with Tommy Prine

Join Carrie and the Gathering of Spirits String Quartet for an evening of music and stories that celebrate, sustain and inspire. 

Carrie will perform songs from her new and past albums with arranger/pianist Gary Walters, violinist Allie Summers and the Gathering of Spirits String Quartet for this unique blending of story and songs that celebrate what is sustaining and hopeful, reminding us of how even in divided times we are still connected at the center of the human heart.  The songs on the new collection explore what it means to live with hope and purpose in challenging times. She sings of seeing wonders in small moments and delight in daily encounters, as well as describes the questions that continue to define and frame her experience. In A Great Wild Mercy Newcomer taps into our shared human longing for a better world that is spiritual and expansive, but always grounded in the most ordinary of things and human sized kindness.  This will offer a new spin on a Hoosier favorite for longtime fans and a great introduction for new listeners. 

Carrie is delighted to invite rising songwriter, Tommy Prine, who is carrying on the musical tradition of his father John and will be opening the show with his own blend of songwriting filled with poignant insights into the human condition.
