Join us for a House Concert at the home of PDG Ed Charlesworth and President Robin Charlesworth to enjoy the music of Rebecca Folsom. "She takes you from subtle ballads to knock-you-to-your-knees blues." - KNUC Radio
Rebecca Folsom’s music is about liberation. Her songs crack open hearts, inspire hope, and leave listeners with a deeper perspective. Rebecca’s world-class voice traverses a near-four-octave range. While her range is impressive, it’s the expression in her voice that rivets your attention and stays with you long after the show ends.
Rebecca is a true renaissance woman. Beyond her career as a recording artist and national touring musician, she is a published author with two books of poetry. She is also an oil painter with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and has shown in numerous galleries. Rebecca lives in Colorful Colorado.
Tickets are $20 per person and we will begin with a Pot Luck Dinner (that is, you bring a dish to share) and BYOB other than coffee and iced tea which will be provided by hosts. There will also be a SILENT AUCTION fundraiser to support our service projects.
Members - please help sell tickets and acquire items for the silent auction. Auction items must be identified by January 21st so the sign-up sheets can be prepared. Search for restaurant certificates, gift baskets, wine or beverage packages, movie tickets, experiences, and other creative ideas. Maybe something in anticipation of Valentine's Day. Please communicate these items to Robin Charlesworth @ 970-880-0960 (please text) or em the description to charlesworth@stresscontrol.com.
