Idgy Vaughn takes the Stage for Powerful Women of Song Series

IDGY VAUGHN AT WAC ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6 at 8 PM

Idgy Vaughn's life sounds like a Soap Opera, "stirring and unbelievable". A single mother, she was a truck stop waitress in Buda, Texas when she met a customer who had won the lottery; he loaned her the money to record her full-length debut, Origin Story.

Vaughn is a singer-songwriter who doesn't fit into one mold but manages to stack "folk," "country," and "rock" into a mountain of sound to showcase her sad songs laced with humor, her catchy, silly songs, and her gut-wrenching songs that pull at your heart - all delivered by a beautiful voice and a personality that will throw the audience off their guard and knock them flat.

Tickets are $18 online and $21 at the door. Follow the link at http://www.watchungarts.org/ to purchase them online or for more information.
