Join Bay Area artist, Caren Armstrong, in celebrating the release of her new album, The Truth Stays True (Wildplum). Last seen at the Freight as part of Joni Mitchell Song Night, Caren writes big, bouyant music straight from the heart, and then sends it aloft with her soaring vocals. Written with a sharp yet compassionate pen, her songs speak universally of the human condition in all its humor and outrage. A past winner of the Emerging Songwriter Award at the Napa Valley Music Festival, Caren hangs her contemporary subjects on a blend of jazz, folk, country, blues, and pop, supported by her strong, soulful guitar playing, wicked humor, and dynamic stage presence.
