A four-time Kerrville New Folk Finalist (most recently in 2018), Angela Easterling returns to MCC with her partner in music and in life, Brandon Turner. We didn't know Angela from our time in Austin - Angela contacted us about doing a show here a few years ago, and after seeing her and Brandon perform live, we knew we had to do it.

Angela has released six solo records. Here's what American Songwriter magazine had to say about Angela's newest release, Witness (2022):

"Angela Easterling’s latest album strongly suggests she’s well worthy of wider recognition. The songs vary in tone and tempo, from the sublime sentiment of “California” and the reflective emotions of “Home,” to the steady stride that underscores “Little Boy Blues” and the echoes of bluegrass shard in “Middle-Age Dream.” Yet she doesn’t shy away from more troubling topics as well, be it gun violence, gender discrimination, or in a telling replay of the Woody Guthrie classic folk narrative, “Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos),” the tragic consequences of a failed immigration policy. Decidedly assertive, Witness is an implicitly energized set of songs, and as a result, absolutely essential.” Lee Zimmerman, American Songwriter, Dec. 29, 2022

How many people do you know who 1) have a pilot's license, 2) earned a degree in aeronautical engineering, 3) swear like a truck driver, and 4) have released five albums? Well, at least one, because that's Barbara Nesbitt.

About 10 years ago, Kathy was volunteering at the Austin Food Bank, and struck up a conversation with a young woman wearing a Saxon Pub t-shirt. It turns out - go figure - she was a musician, and she invited us to come to Strange Brew the next night to see her solo show, and later that week at the Continental Club to see her band, The Whiskey Sisters.

We've probably been to 20 of Barbara's shows since then, and this will be Barbara's 4th appearance here at MCC.

Barbara recently returned from a 3-week tour of the UK and Scandinavia, and we're super excited to welcome her back to Kent Island.

Reviewing Barbara's latest album, Someday Maybe Sooner, Peter Blackstock of the Austin Statesman wrote "She marvels at a couple’s 50-year marriage on “That Kind of Love” (“They rode off together, made a short story long”); laments a departed flame on “100 Times” (“You came on like a hurricane, and lit out like a jet plane”); and lays her vulnerability and hope on the line in the title track (“I’ll give my heart to you someday, maybe sooner”). It all works primarily because of Nesbitt’s guileless vocal delivery, which can leaven even bitter disappointments with disarming sweetness."

Barbara's bio is on her website here.
