Kathy Mattea: Grammy-winning artist and environmental activist

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

8 p.m., Gaines Chapel, Presser Hall

Music lovers! Nature lovers! Activists! Lend Kathy Mattea your ears for an enjoyable and conscientiously informed evening of songs and storytelling. With a sound that reflects both her Appalachian upbringing in West Virginia and a heavy infusion of Celtic and bluegrass influences, Grammy award-winning country artist and environmentalist Mattea has released her highly anticipated new album, Coal, inspired by the 2006 Sago Mine disaster. Well known for classic hits such as “18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses,” she now incorporates her interest in social issues such as global warming into her music, creatively raising consciousness and inspiring positive change through the revolutionizing power of melody and lyrics.
