Come join student performers and Carrie Newcomer in an evening of song! Carrie will share several songs before students take center stage and perform.

Newcomer, who has recorded nine albums for Rounder/Philo Records, including her latest, "Betty's Diner," will lead workshops on creativity and sustaining joy in work, speak in classes, and interact with students and faculty as an "artist in residence" April 6-8.

Newcomer leads workshops across the country on songwriting, creative writing and peace and justice and faith and vocation themes. She holds to the Quaker saying, "Let your life speak," focusing on the idea that every person has unique and valuable gifts and that the more effective one's work the more authentic his or her life becomes.
