Personal note from Cris..."I’ll
be doing old favorites and brand new songs from my
upcoming CD ---
GiftHorse. You’ll be the very first to hear them." - Cris
From St. Clair Productions...
Touring in support of a brand new CD Gift Horse, Cris Williamson returns to Ashland, Oregon at the Unitarian Center, 4th and C Streets, Saturday, March 20, 2010 • 8PM. Her last performance here was a double-bill with Holly Near 6 years ago. We're delighted to have her back in a solo show.
Decades before indie labels were the norm, and years before women had any real access in the industry, Cris Williamson was busy changing the face of popular music. Despite being like a well-kept secret, and dwelling almost completely in the independent music world, she nonetheless had an impact worldwide. During an interview in Washington, D.C., she conceived of a national all-women's record company, which subsequently issued her now-legendary classic, The Changer and the Changed -- one of the best-selling independent releases of all time.
Cris's music was embraced and so-called "women's music" by audiences hungry for a fresh, bold sound able to match the uncharted waters of the mid-seventies. It took close to a decade for the genre to earn a critical reception, and by that time Cris's astounding vocals were earning reviews sounding as though they were penned by close relatives. Finally, the stage had been set for women, and particularly for lesbians, to write, produce, record, and issue their own material -- on their own terms.
