Equal parts confessional folk singer\, rock-and -roll firebrand\, and Americana storyteller\, Ferrick delivers a live sh ow built on disarming wit\, raw emotional honesty\, and virtuosic guitar work that turns a room of strangers into a shared experience. Read more Ferrick's story reads like a masterclass in earning it the hard way. Cl assically trained in violin and piano and schooled in jazz trumpet and b ass\, she taught herself guitar and cut her teeth in the Cambridge\, MA club scene that launched The Indigo Girls and The Pixies. Her break came in 1991\, when she stepped in to open for Morrissey with an hour's noti ce — a performance strong enough to land her a spot on his U.S. and UK t our and\, soon after\, a deal with Atlantic Records. Her 1993 debut\, Ma ssive Blur\, announced a songwriter unwilling to be boxed in. What follo wed is a career defined by independence and staying power: three albums on Colorado's W.A.R. Records through the late '90s\, the launch of her o wn label\, Right On Records\, in 2000\, and two celebrated records with MPress Records in the early 2010s. Eighteen albums deep\, Ferrick has pi cked up honors for songwriting\, production\, and performance along the way — and she's shared stages with a who's-who of American music\, inclu ding Bob Dylan\, Ani DiFranco\, k.d. lang\, Suzanne Vega\, Joan Armatrad ing\, Tegan and Sara\, Weezer\, Paul Westerberg\, John Hiatt\, Shawn Col vin\, and Marc Cohn. Ferrick offers something rare: a genuinely singular artist with a fiercely loyal fanbase\, a catalog deep enough to reward longtime listeners and hook newcomers in a single set\, and a live perfo rmance that critics and peers alike have counted on for thirty years run ning.\n\nTickets: https://ci.ovationtix.com/grotonhill/performance/11878 293\n\nhttps://findlocal.community/event/0669bc54-9960-4fe9-ab91-6c2c042 514b9 LOCATION:Groton Hill Music Center\, 122 Old Ayer Rd\, Groton\, MA 01450 URL:https://findlocal.community/event/0669bc54-9960-4fe9-ab91-6c2c042514b 9 STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
