With the ongoing roadworks on the A63, I chose to take the scenic route to this evening’s venue, taking in the beautiful undulating landscape of East Yorkshire, with dusk’s fading embers spreading a pale light as I reached my destination.
Situated approximately 24 miles southeast of the minster city of York, the small village of Newbald and its Village Hall certainly punches above its weight in attracting quality acts if tonight's headliners are anything to go by.
The spiritual ancestry was on display in the show's poster, a take-off of the landmark country rock album in which the three women had caricatures woven into the tapestry and take-off of the albums cover.
The first time I saw Karen Jonas and her musical partner, Tim Bray, perform was at Gypsy Sally’s in 2015. I had the pleasure of seeing the duo with Karen’s band again recently at Pearl Street Warehouse on the night she won the 2019 Wammy Award for Best Country/Americana Artist.
Karen Jonas, a resident of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and a native of Damascus, Maryland, headlined Saturday evening at Pearl Street Warehouse with a release party for her new album, Butter.
