Event Details
“The Young and the Rest…” is all about women bringing new life to music made famous by men. Clearly a tribute, this show is better described as a girl-powered reboot of acoustic hits and deep tracks by Neil Young, CSN, America, The Eagles and more. The siren-voices of SimpleGifts (Carin Vagle*/Karen Paurus/Amy Courts) soar with a Celtic twist provided by Laura MacKenzie (whistles/flutes/bagpipe). Acoustic guitar by Billy McLaughlin with Dan Ristrom (bass), Patrick Nelson (drums), Billy O (percussion) and Nathan Wilson (fiddle/mandolin. Not to be missed among your tribute show choices!
*Special note: SimpleGifts’ founding member, vocalist, Carin Vagle, makes a noteworthy return to the stage for the first time since 2012. A Parkway neighborhood legend returns!!!
