Sun - May 11
  Meg Hutchinson w/Rosie Cousins Sunday Music Series
Keene - Orange Earth Productions is hosting a singer songwriter music series once a month at Armadillo's Burritos in downtown Keene. We are committed to bringing original, regional and local musicians to Keene in a relaxing and intimate setting. Shows will take place one Sunday a month. An honest writer, Hutchinson does not shy away from the hard topics. In "America (Enough)" she explores American culture, excess and war by writing about how things taken to an extreme almost become their opposite. Another timely song on the new album is her "Song for Jeffrey Lucey" based on the real story of Lance Corporal Jeffrey Lucey, who returned from Iraq, suffering from severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). "I heard about Jeffrey Lucey and was devastated by his story but incredibly moved by how his family spoke out about PTSD," Hutchinson says. "I think we all need to recognize sorrow, both the grief of a country at war and our own very private sorrows, in order to get through them."
Location: Armadillo's Burritos 82 Main Street, Keene, NH
Cost: $15
Phone: Armadillo's (603) 358-3700

She performed on the Lilith Fair Tour, and tours now full-time in the US and Europe to a fanbase that has been built over years of returning to the folk clubs and theaters that are the foundation of the acoustic music scene. Her songs have appeared on TV shows from Grey's Anatomy to Alias, and in many films including the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie 'Our Lips Are Sealed.'
