DCCA PRESENTS ACOUSTIC KENTUCKY TRIO “ZOE SPEAKS” AT THE COFFEE POT
The trio “Zoe Speaks” consists of Mitch Barrett, Carla Gover, and Owen Reynolds, all of whom grew up playing songs rooted in Appalachia; however, their sound draws on a variety of rhythms and styles from pop to blues to calypso. According to Rawlins, their songs are socially conscious and spiritual, with themes ranging from the environment to relationships, and lyrics populated by tricksters, angels, addicts, fools, mules, and heroes. “Their music can be described as mountain twang meets contemporary folk; it’s fresh, catchy, and steeped in rural sensibility,” he concluded.
DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series presents high quality artists performing in a casual social setting where food and drink are also available; Eileen and Steve Litchfield and Rodney Oda are sponsors for these casual concerts. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. DCCA membership contributions also help support this show.
Tickets for the concert by “Zoe Speaks” cost $10, and are available at The Coffee Pot. For more information, contact DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net.
