Keep your eyes on Angela Easterling

How to describe Angela Easterling's sound? She's not quite folk, not quite country, not quite rock. A review of her album Witness said, it's "a melodic mix of Americana, homegrown country and rock, ‘Witness’ resonates with heartfelt lyrics and powerful storytelling."

Angela has a crystalline voice, personal stories to tell, and she weaves it all together for a night of pure enjoyment. Please join us!
