Grammy Award Winner Rosanne Cash to Perform at the State Theatre in April

Beloved singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash is set perform at the State Theatre in Easton. Her concert, on Saturday, April 8, will feature music from her acclaimed 2014 album The River & the Thread.

Show time is 7 PM. Tickets are $49 & $39 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610.252.3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org. Sponsored by The Martin Guitar Company and CAT Country 96.

The River & the Thread includes eleven original songs written by Cash and her longtime collaborator-and husband-John Leventhal, who also served as producer, arranger, and guitarist. The River & the Thread evokes the American South's rich landscape-physical, musical, and emotional-and examines the indelible impressions it's made on our collective culture and on Cash, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee. The songs portray a multigenerational cast of characters-from a Civil War soldier off to fight in Virginia, to a New Deal-era farmer in Arkansas, to a present-day couple in Alabama.

While Cash and Leventhal were inspired by the many musical styles associated with the South-Delta blues, gospel, Appalachian folk, country, rock, and others-the resulting collection of songs is contemporary. Cash, who has just been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, has recorded fifteen albums and has charted twenty-one top forty country singles, eleven of which reached number one. A Chicago Tribune reviewer describes Composed, her 2010 memoir, as "one of the best accounts of an American life you will likely ever read."

Rosanne Cash is a four-time Grammy Award Winner, including three victories for The River & the Thread in 2015. She was honored for Best Americana Album as well as Best American Roots Song and Best American Roots Performance for "A Feather's Not A Bird" fromThe River & the Thread. Cash won her first Grammy in 1985 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance with "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me."
