Equally adept at quiet introspection, observations on rural life, and fiery protest anthems, Iris DeMent is a widely celebrated singer/songwriter whose music winds through folk, gospel, country, and rock. Since debuting in the early '90s her graceful, poetic songs and distinctive voice have made her a staple of folk and Americana music and her signature song, "Our Town," has been covered widely. Along with a string of acclaimed albums including 1992's Infamous Angel and 1994's My Life, she has collaborated with artists like John Prine, Emmylou Harris, and Nanci Griffith. While her output in the 2000s consisted solely of an album of traditional gospel-folk hymns, DeMent became more active in the following decade with 2012's poignant Sing the Delta and a 2015 album of Anna Akhmatova poems set to original music. Her seventh album, 2023's Workin' on a World, addressed global and political turmoil with a resolute sense of hope.Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
