The Walton Arts Center

Rosane Cash visits the area next Friday, March 7th and has a scheduled performance at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville.
Rosanne will most likely be featuring music from her newly released CD "The River & The Thread".
“I went back to where I was born, and these songs started arriving in me,” says Rosanne Cash. “All these things happened that made me feel a deeper connection to the South than I ever had. We started finding these great stories, and the melodies that went with those experiences.”
