Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

FENCE will host Asheville-based songstress Jane Kramer for an afternoon of live music on Sunday, September 22, at 4 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Lauded by UK music reviewer Three Chords and the Truth as sounding like she was “…born to bohemian poets and raised in the mountains by Emmylou Harris,” Kramer has garnered international recognition for the originality of her vocals and for the heavy-hitting lyrical eloquence of her songwriting. With deep roots in the musical traditions, culture, and lore of Appalachia, Kramer’s songs are introspective, gracefully gritty and fiercely memorable. Her live performances are equally poignant and engaging.

Kramer has been touring and recording nationally and internationally for the last ten years, playing for sold-out audiences in listening rooms, theaters, festivals, living rooms, prisons, and arts councils. 

A former social worker, domestic violence crisis counselor, and avid humanitarian, Kramer continues to perform and teach about the songwriting process, sharing her message of music as a powerful tool for healing, connection and compassion. She has performed with Joan Osborne, Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls, Leyla McCalla, The Steep Canyon Rangers, Sarah Siskind, Gretchen Peters, Malcolm Holcombe, Josh Goforth, Verlon Thompson and Shawn Mullins. 

This event is possible thanks to the Kirby Endowment at the Polk County Community Foundation. 

FENCE is located at 3381 Hunting Country Road in Tryon. For more information about this or upcoming events, call 828-859-9021, email info@fence.org, or visit www.fence.org.
