Well, the earliest music I heard growing up were albums by Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul & Mary. From them I discovered singing in harmony, and also learned about justice and the power of peaceful means to make change. A love for Patsy Cline's music followed, and I started performing her songs and even appeared as an extra in the biopic about her amazing life, SWEET DREAMS. I return to this music whenever I can, and am especially glad to sing these songs with my son and my best friend.NOTE: Funds from this show will also support my upcoming choir tour to New York City's CARNEGIE HALL this May (!!!) So come on out, y'all!Bill Kopper (guitar)Mark Diamond (bass)Clare Church (drums & vocals)Plus special guests Kieran Boes and Paula Friedland
