by Donna Cassy<br />
A<br />
cclaimed singer-songwriter<br />
Christine Kane<br />
performs 8pm.<br />
Friday, Oct<br />
13 at Diana<br />
Wortham Theatre at<br />
Pack Place in downtown<br />
Asheville, in a<br />
concert being recorded<br />
for Kane’s first DVD<br />
release.<br />
Kane has captured the<br />
hearts and imaginations<br />
of audiences across the<br />
nation, including those<br />
who saw her perform in<br />
the past year as part of<br />
North Carolina Dance<br />
Theatre’s groundbreaking<br />
Under Southern Christine Kane<br />
Skies tour.<br />
She brilliantly weaves<br />
a comedic thread throughout her stories<br />
and anecdotes, while conveying a sense of<br />
magic and encouragement with her songs<br />
and voice. Her music is influenced, not so<br />
much by other artists, but by her life and<br />
her refreshing take on her world.<br />
Kane’s 12-year career is marked by<br />
independence and a deep commitment to<br />
her craft as a writer and performer. She<br />
has released five CDs on her own record<br />
label, Firepink Music, and is gaining critical<br />
acclaim nationwide. Her album Rain<br />
& Mud & Wild & Green was named “Best<br />
of 2003” in the folk category by Borders<br />
Books & Music, while The Washington<br />
Post described the album as “reflective,<br />
ironic and often open-ended… curious<br />
scenarios that leave you guessing about the<br />
nature of things.<br />
Impressive song<br />
craft.”<br />
Kane has performed<br />
with a wide<br />
range of musicians,<br />
including<br />
Los Lobos, Nanci<br />
Griffith, John<br />
Mayer, Shawn<br />
Colvin and John<br />
Gorka. In addition<br />
to performing<br />
at festivals and<br />
theatres across the<br />
country, Kane has<br />
also performed<br />
for humanitarian<br />
events, including<br />
Concerts for a<br />
Landmine Free<br />
World and Girls on<br />
the Move. In addition,<br />
her songs have<br />
been included on<br />
several compilation CDs.<br />
