Singer-songwriters Judy Fjell and Betsy Rose, both veterans of the folk and women's music scenes, are longtime friends who have the gift of bringing the emotional, political, and spiritual together in their music and community activism. A rare treat, tonight's joint concert will be held in conversational style as Betsy and Judy share their heartfelt observations of life and the stories behind many of their best-loved songs. Judy Fjell performs, writes, and teaches full-time, in addition to recording albums like last year's Bird Return, the latest CD project on her own label, Honey Pie Music. Judy has recorded 11 albums since 1980 and has written well over a hundred songs during her twenty-five year performing career. Well-known as a generous and gifted teacher, she believes that music can empower individually and collectively, effecting both personal and social change. Betsy Rose's warmth and humor, wit and wisdom, have given a wealth of songs to the world of folk and progressive music for more than two decades. Passionate and profound, Betsy offers timeless music for times of change­soul food on our journey into the 21st Century. The most recent of Betsy's many recordings, the albums Motherlight and Heart of a Child, speak with depth, humor and insight to the art of being with young children.
