Melissa Ferrick with Chris Pureka January 26, 2008

$23. All ages. Presented in part by CDGLCC/Progressions Concert Series.

If there is one thing we all know about Melissa Ferrick, it's that she gives us one hell of a live show. "Skinnier, Faster, Live at the B.P.C." continues to be one of her top selling albums. And now, 8 years later, she gives us her latest: "Live at Union Hall". Packed with her charming and witty banter, her ferocious guitar skills and her addictive fervor, "Live at Union Hall" welcomes you back in for the ride and reminds us why Ann Powers (NY TIMES) said, "Ferrick's live shows define her popularity, she plays her acoustic guitar as if it were a full band and stresses improvisation in her vocals."

Chris Pureka's sophomore release, Dryland plays like the way she enters a room: with low, deliberate airs, quietly demanding respect. One stark, solo acoustic guitar builds into layered swan songs and raspy serenades that resonate with unassuming depth and candor.
