Singer Rachel Ries, whose voice has been compared with Maria Muldaur, Billie Holliday and Sarah Harmer, is coming to town in support of her recently released album Without a Bird. The multi-instrumentalist and independent recording artist has foregone the digital process by recording and mixing the album analog, creating an intimate effect which will be continued at her performance, to be held at a private home here in Buffalo. Ries will be joined by Ariel Bolles on upright bass and backing vocals, and by local songwriter Brian Wheat, who will open the show as well as join Ries and Bolles throughout the night. The concert, on Friday (Sept. 14) at 8pm, is open to the public. Please call 207-0317 for futher information.
