March 9th

• Lydia Violet - Lydia Violet is an Iranian-Armenian-American folk multi-instrumentalist, revolution-bringer, culture-tender, grief-worker, and mischief-maker. With her live band, she weaves together her songwriting, folk standards, Iranian ballads, 3-part harmonies, fiddle tunes, banjo, and collective singing into an altar of music for the troubles of our time. She'll be sharing a "stomp 'n sing" with lively back and forth between soulful songs and songs that bring in the audience community singing style, in an inclusive and accessible way.
