08/04/10 • Lizzie West & Baba Buffalo w/ Michael Brown • 08:00 PM
A Benefit for Meadowbrook Senior Center!
Having sold more than 30,000 copies of her musical works, Lizzie West has a broad fan base for her poetry and songs. West is not only a songwriter and a performer, she has acted in the role of producer, playwright, and activist. After the 2003 Warner Bros release of her album, “Holy Road: Freedom Songs,” AOL and Entertainment Weekly both named West “Breaker Artist of the Year.”
Songwriter, pianist, musical director, illustrator, activist, producer, gardener and blogger, Baba Buffalo, is a renaissance man. He was born in a frigid Midwestern blizzard of 1982. Growing up, he listened to the sounds of jazz, blues, trees, the news and first began singing Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” at age two. Baba grew through many shoes that led him ‘cross the great lake of Michigan to the ‘between two lakes’, of Interlochen Arts Academy.
“… an indie masterpiece” — American Songwriter
“…a simple, plain, natural love, this warms the cockles of the heart.” – Americana UK
“West writes disarming melodies, wraps her songs in beautiful, spare arrangements, and sings them with a beguiling voice…” – No Depression
“Her music is rooted and comfortable, but her songs have a restless promise.” – NY Times
“The journey she shared was perhaps what anyone looking for freedom, love and self might experience, but she has a uniquely effortless, and charming, way of telling the tale.” – LA Times
