Full Circle: Honoring our Shared HistoryCris returns to the Freight for her annual homage to the new year, this year bringing a curated set of songs from five decades.
“A musical and visual journey through our shared history, beginning and ending with The Changer and the Changed … songs that soothed us, wooed us, summoned us, united us, strengthened us, and gathered us together in community. Let’s greet this next year together, armed with memories of what we've done, pride in who we are, and our shared belief in what is possible.” - Cris
Singer, songwriter, musician, teacher, activist Cris Williamson is one of the most important figures from the women's music movement rooted in the '70s. Williamson continues to be a fearless trailblazer, an avowed feminist, and a proud lesbian long before most dared to come out. Her album, The Changer and the Changed, released on the label she helped found, Olivia Records, became one of the best-selling independent releases of all time. Cris has continued to write, record, teach, and tour, including three sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall. Along with touring, a new album and a documentary in the works, her recent album Harbor Street serves as a mirror of these difficult times. Her latest album, her 34th, Ravens and the Roses, features songs penned for her popular monthly livestreams, now in their sixth year. Cris, along with Judy Dlugacz, was awarded the Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award.
