ZOE MULFORD TO PERFORM SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6 at 8 PM AS PART OF THE POWERFUL WOMEN OF SONG SERIES AT WAC

Zoë Mulford, an award-winning transatlantic singer-songwriter, guitarist and banjo picker, grew up near Philadelphia but has lived in Manchester, England for the past several years. She has been described as “a brilliant, highly original songwriter who delivers her music with warmth, sincerity and a bit of a twinkle” by Rich Warren, host of “Midnight Special” and “FolkStage” on Chicago’s WFMT-FM.

Mulford pens short story-like songs that are evocative, well-crafted and endlessly varied. Whether focusing on a doomed polar expedition, drivers on I-95, wayward ghosts, practitioners of love against the odds, or the contents of her own refrigerator, Mulford’s vivid storytelling, engaging stage presence and down-to-earth humor promise listeners an enjoyable evening. Her lyrics are “intelligent, thought-provoking, and so warm that they demand that you get to know this person better” says Bob Gramann, host of the Fredericksburg Songwriters Showcase in Virginia. Backing her clear voice with acoustic guitar or claw hammer banjo, Mulford intersperses her own songs with selections from the music that inspires them — American and British folk ballads, old-time banjo tunes, and the work of songwriters ranging from George Gershwin to Richard Thompson.

As Phil Shapiro, host of “Bound for Glory” on WVBR-FM in Ithaca, NY, puts it, “Zoe’s a fine and whimsical singer-songwriter, alternatively powerful and funny… You’ll find her to be just plain delightful.”

Tickets are $16 online at zoemulford.eventbrite.com, $21 at the door.

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.
