Lucinda Williams – July 31

A gifted songwriter with a strong and distinctive voice, Lucinda Williams is an Americana pioneer. Described by Believer magazine, Williams’ songs are “like a catalog of intimate sufferings, mostly of the romantic kind-suicidal poets, unfulfilled love songs and long, sad drives across the South.” Her newest album, “The Ghosts of Highway 20,” brings those stories to life and give a vivid look at how the highway has been a backdrop throughout her life. Watch Lucinda Williams here. Monday, July 31. 7:30 PM. Chautauqua Auditorium. Buy tickets online.
