She Wrote the Tunes – Vintage Women Songwriters

The image of the 1920s and 30s Tin-Pan-Alley tunesmith rarely wears a dress, but tonight Patricia Hammond and Matt Redman will have you humming some of the most catchy, lyrical and memorable melodies written during the golden age of popular song…and all of them written by women. Patricia’s mellifluous voice will transport you to another era, and Matt will play accordion, banjo, ukulele, his Gibson L4 guitar and, of course, the grand piano to evoke the authentic sounds from the years these wonderful songs were written. “What a Difference a Day Makes,” “I’ll Never Smile Again,” “Ramona,” “You Oughta Be in Pictures,” “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf” and so, so many more by the great ladies of songwriting will be showcased with the vividness and authenticity they deserve. Patricia and Matt will share the stories behind the songs, and talk about the fascinating stories of their creators.
