Sunday June 21 at 4 pm. Barbara Higbie & Teresa Trull at Occidental Center for the Arts.
Celebrate 44 years of collaboration and Pride Month with singer-songwriter Teresa Trull and pianist/singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Barbara Higbie. Their new CD ‘Playtime' captures the excitement and versatility that has endeared them to audiences since 1983. Their collaborative joy is at once irresistible, irrefutable and engagingly quirky. Musically they range over a terrain that varies from blues and gospel to folk, rock , jazz and championship fiddle playing. They have shared stages with Tracy Chapman, k.d. Lang, Whoopie Goldberg, Nancy Griffith and Ferron among others. Combining gut emotion, technical brilliance and pure joie de vivre, Trull and Higbie are a musical force to be reckoned with and thoroughly enjoyed.
