Sally Rogers, Claudia Schmidt & Emma’s Revolution

May 5, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Powerful four-part harmonies from folk legends SALLY ROGERS & CLAUDIA SCHMIDT and EMMA’S REVOLUTION celebrate Mothers as women, artists and change-makers and celebrate women’s voices.
Part of the foursome’s new ‘Every Day is Mother’s Day Tour,’ the evening will “lift up mothers and foremothers, trail blazers and hell raisers of all kinds,” says Pat Humphries, half of the duo Emma’s Revolution, with Sandy O. “The actions we can take and the songs we can sing to make this world a better place are the focus of our lives’ work and will take center stage,” says Sally Rogers.
Despite disparate styles, the four accomplished singer-songwriters-instrumentalists share a passionate dedication to harmony, humanity and social justice.
