Award-winning singer-songwriters Tricia Waker, Karen Staley, Ashley Cleveland, and Carrie Tillis will soon come together for a special evening of music and stories at Grammy Museum Mississippi in Cleveland.
On Tuesday, July 16, at 7 p.m., the group of artists will perform “Bluebird Cafe style” for Big Night: Women in the Round. Tickets for the event are already available for $100 for members and $125 for nonmembers with proceeds going to support music education initiatives at the museum. There will be a reception before the show, beginning at 6 p.m.
“We are thrilled to continue our Big Night with Women in the Round series this year and invite four incredibly talented singers and songwriters to our museum for what is sure to be an incredible evening of music,” Grammy Museum Mississippi Executive Director Emily Havens said. “The contributions these talented artists have made to American music history are incredible, and we can’t wait to have them here to share their music and stories of their prolific careers.”
Walker, Staley, and Cleveland were members of the talented foursome that was the first female “in the round” group at Bluebird Cafe, one of the world’s preeminent listening rooms in Nashville, Tenn. Their first show together was in 1988 as they have continued to perform together for select dates over the years.
The performance at Grammy Museum Mississippi will bring the original three back together while throwing Tillis into the mix. Each will have a chance to share their stories as they take turns playing their songs and accompanying each other instrumentally and with harmony vocals.
For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Grammy Museum Mississippi at (662)441-0100 or at www.grammymuseumms.org.
