Carolyn Hester - House Concert
Wednesday, February 29th 7PM
Cleveland Heights, Ohio
On September 29, 1961, Columbia recording star Carolyn Hester took an unknown harmonica player into the studio to lay down tracks that would become part of her 3rd album “Carolyn Hester”
That unknown musician was Bob Dylan, whom John Hammond quickly signed to his own Columbia recording contract.
Carolyn, known throughout the folk music world as “The Texas Songbird” for her angelic voice, remains as angelic and sweet sounding on her 2009 release “We Dream Forever” as she did when she first recorded “Scarlet Ribbons” in 1957.
In between, Carolyn has toured the world, graced the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, and played to packed houses everywhere. Her duet on “Boots of Spanish Leather” with Nanci Griffith for Dylan’s 30th Anniversary concert remains a classic.
Steve’s Folk Radio Show, in association with Roots of American Music, proudly presents Carolyn in an intimate house concert setting. Be a part of folk music history as Carolyn recounts her many fascinating stories sandwiched between songs from her varied and enduring career. Bring a memento for Carolyn to personalize.
