Hi All,
On Sunday, February 25th, there will be a house concert for Anne
Lister, a terrific singer/songwriter and storyteller from England. It
will be incredible to have Anne back for a third time!
Anne is unique in the wonderful tapestries that she weaves in her
songs. Anne�s songs have largely traveled without her, and this is a
unique opportunity to hear her perform and interpret them. Her songs
have been recorded by some of Britain & America's finest performers:
Nic Jones, Martin Simpson, Archie Fisher, Artisan, Maggie Holland,
Blowzabella, Grace Griffith, and Carla Sciaky.... Anne is also a
wonderful storyteller, a skill which she uses brilliantly in
introducing her songs.
A text copy of the flyer is attached at the end of this message.
For reservations & directions,
e-mail reservations@sgreenberg.org
or call 510-644-2135.
Further information, including html and PDF versions of the flyer, can
also be obtained from:
http://www.sgreenberg.org/concerts.htm
Seats are also still available for all other upcoming concerts:
Priscilla Herdman (4/7), Tony McManus (4/15 - just added!), Bob Fox
(4/29), Ben Sands (5/6), Saffron Summerfield (6/10), Brian Peters
(9/2001 - date TBD). Please note that Colum Sands' concert on 4/15
has been cancelled.
Thanks for your continued support!

ANNE LISTER,
English singer-songwriter,
will be performing at a
House Concert
in BERKELEY
on Sunday, February 25th
at 7:30PM
Anne Lister's songs have frequently traveled to California without
her... It'll be great to have her visit once again to perform them!
Anne Lister has been writing songs ever since she can remember, and
has been performing in folk clubs ever since she was first able to
persuade a barman to serve her with orange juice... Anne is truly
unique in the wonderful tapestries that she weaves in her songs. Her
songs are frequently inspired by Arthurian legend and mythology -
subjects that clearly reflect Anne's extensive study of medieval
literature.
Anne's now got 6 albums to her name - one as a member of Anonyma, and
5 solo albums. However, it's only been in recent years that she's
been travelling extensively and giving us the opportunity to hear her
perform and interpret her songs. "Icarus" and "Moth" have both been
widely covered on the folk circuit. Her songs have been recorded by
many of Britain and America's finest musicians, including Nic Jones,
Martin Simpson, Archie Fisher, Artisan, Maggie Holland, Blowzabella,
Grace Griffith, and Carla Sciaky.
Anne's concerts are a wonderful experience. She's a warm, engaging
performer who creates an immediate rapport with her audience. She
also works as a storyteller, and her skills in this area become
immediately apparent as she graphically provides the backgrounds for
her musical tales. She is a great exponent of the ancient craft of
singing a story to life.
______________
"A thoroughly original poetic voice. Often drawing from ancient
British and Celtic myth, but as relevant as tomorrow�s paper." Scott
Alarik, The Boston Globe
"There simply are no finer song crafters than Anne Lister. She writes
with the full power, beauty and grace of the English language, and the
fire of the bards. Absolutely one of a kind and absolutely not to be
missed." Chuck Hall, Malden Radio, MA
"A rare and refreshing talent, seeming at ease with all the essentials
of successful writing and performing." Bernard Gibbs, Taplas Magazine
______________
Admission: $12 Donation. All proceeds go to the performer.
Reservations required.
For reservations, information, & directions: e-mail
