Rosanne Cash at
The Walton Arts Center

 
Rosanne Cash live at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville tonight.
 
 
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.”
