Poet & Song Series
Falcon Theatre, Newport, KY
Raison D'Etre presents four house concerts a season in Falcon Theatre's "house." We collect donations for the performers. Be sure to save your seat by RSVP-ing at the link.
Our Poet & Song house concert series takes place at Falcon Theatre on select dates between October and June. House concerts are by invitation events where all proceeds go to the performers, so this is primarily our labor of love to present touring songwriters we have met through our Folk Alliance membership over the years. Each concert will feature a 20 minute reading from a local/regional poet plus a 45 minute set of original song from the touring artist. So far, we have presented:
Poets: Kelly Thomas, Pauletta Hansel, Karen George, George Ella Lyon. Taunja Thomson
Songwriters: Todd Hoke, Jefferson Ross, Zoe Mulford, Raison D'Etre, Friction Farm
Our next show is February 20, 2020. RSVP now to rls@raison3.com to save your seat at the concert. We'll send you parking info and a confirmation that we received your RSVP. Our songwriter will be Tiffany Williams with opening poet, Jerry Judge.
RSVPs for each concert are accepted at the Contact Page on this website. We will send you a confirmation and parking directions for the theatre. Our suggested donation is $20 so that both the poet and songwriter receive some compensation for their performance. However, we will accept whatever donation you can afford at the door. We want you to enjoy these wonderful artists. You can also use PayPal if you prefer.
