NO COVER 7:00pm Show
Join Willow Waters & The Earth Tones for an evening of musical improvisations and compositions. The evening will be centered around Willow's piano playing and will feature a set of live improvisations; an instrumental performance of her latest record, I RISE, I FALL; and a set of various older compositions and favorite tunes. It is sure to be an intimate, soul-nourishing event. Come one, come all!
As the ripples on the surface of the river mingle and transform the lines and reflections of our world, so Willow Waters’s music shapeshifts. Dancing between rock and roll, country, old folk, and jazz—and bolstered by rich, intricate, and often surprising arrangements and instrumentation—her music exhibits exhaustive precision and delightful variety. Centering this vast array of orchestration is Willow’s singular voice: a voice that is grounding in timbre yet soaring in its revelations.
What Willow’s music achieves is remarkable. She delves deep into the sacred feminine—the ancient current of energy bearing all life—and sings with the powerful voices that there reside. Her music is fertile and abundant. It is at times as strong and steadfast as cottonwood roots, and at others as light and graceful as her drifting seeds. She sometimes sings with a warm, liquid ease, and sometimes she wails and spits resistance and rebuke.
And then, woven into this rich fabric, is the simple delight of walking this earth. The breeze on the mountains, the shade of a tree, and a damn fine cup of coffee. Willow reminds us of the pure joy of living, the ecstasy of feeling grass on your bare feet. She takes us to the heights of spirituality and then eases us down to the crystalline happiness and contentment of earthly existence.
