Singer/songwriter/guitarist Edie Carey is the featured performer for year's Lauren Pickard '90 Emerging Artist Series in Cornell University's Willard Straight Hall Memorial Room Monday, April 14, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public. Using her graceful, soaring voice and an undeniable skill for carving everyday images in almost startling detail, Carey's songs draw listeners in, and what she says in between them is what keeps them there. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey's wry and often self-mocking humor, coupled with her ability to tell a great story, leaves listeners feeling as though they have just spent an evening with a close friend.
