About this concert
Cris Williamson returns to the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley CA to kick off 2024 with her talented and beloved roster of support provided by Barbara Higbie, Vicki Randle, Julie Wolf, Shelley Doty, Mary Watkins, Katie Cash, Kofy Brown, Mia Pixley, Mouths of Babes, Sara Bush Dancers, Bitch! and very special guests!. The annual celebration leads off with a set of songs from Cris’s extensive catalog - chosen, arranged and performed by her accompanying artists. The second set is an electrifying full band performance of the classic Olivia Records album, The Changer and the Changed, featuring the Sarah Bush Dancers and other special guests. Each year, a different show under the genius musical direction of Vicki Randle - a brilliant honoring of Cris and her music, and an evening steeped in Community and Connection. A Revolution based in Love - a must-have, as we all prepare for the year ahead.
