Live Concert – Rose Cousins / Edie Carey
Saturday, October 23rd, 2010 @ 7:00pm click here to hear some sample music
We were introduced to Rose and Edie through the serendipity of Pandora.com-stopped short one afternoon by the stunning vocals and lyrics pouring out of our office computer. We had to find out who and where, and could they come to Texas? Rose is a Canadian; Edie is a Chicagoan.
Each claims a featured performance at the Olympic Winter Games, and a host of music awards. Rose has opened for Sir Paul McCartney; Edie has shared a stage with Ani DiFranco. Two fluid voices, lyrics anchored deep, a shared sense of humor-all converging in Edom to provide an unforgettable concert not to be missed! We count ourselves favored.
