Upcoming Valley Folk concerts:

Debra Cowan

in the Drake House Studio Theater
at 171 Cedar Arts Center, 155 Cedar Street, Corning

Debra brings folk music to life from both sides of the Atlantic. In a music scene full of singer-songwriters contemplating their own navels, Debra Cowan is a breath of fresh air. She has all the skills of a real folk singer. Perfectly happy singing with her guitar or unaccompanied, she is a singer of songs written by others and she can make them convincingly her own. Cowan’s captivating warm alto sound, with just a little vibrato, carries each of her carefully-chosen folk songs with such emotion that you’ll forget they were written by others. Her newest release, Fond Desire Farewell, takes contemporary and time-honored public domain songs, but puts them in modern settings. More info...
