In another stellar Urban Ministries of Durham (UMD) concert benefit, award-winning fiddler Barbara Lamb brings her unforgettable music to the Strings Attached concert series. This "fiddle fatale" will bow your over Friday, April 16, at 7 PM, in the Parish Hall at St. Philip's Episcopal Church, 403 East Main Street, in downtown Durham.

As a teen, Seattle native Barbara Lamb won state and regional junior fiddling championships, joined a bluegrass band and gave future celebrity fiddler Mark O'Connor his first lessons on the instrument, as well as his first introduction to bluegrass and Texas swing. In the late'80s she co-founded cowgirl band Ranch Romance. After touring as k.d.lang's opening act for most of a year and recording for Sugar Hill, Barbara left Ranch Romance and moved to Nashville. During the '90s, she released a pair of solo recordings on Sugar Hill, then started her own Lots of Coffee Records.

Over her career, Barbara's performed and recorded with Asleep at the Wheel, The John Cowan Band, The Laura Love Band, The Sweethearts of the Rodeo, Lyle Lovett, Riders in the Sky, Peter Rowan, Trisha Yearwood, Tony Trischka—even author Robert Fulghum.

When not playing bluegrass and traditional roots fiddle, Barbara experiments with loops and other electronic effects. On the road she lays down background beds, adding whatever moves her, then accompanies the groove with her fiddle and vocals—or not. While built upon solid foundations, the improv nature of Barbara's "audio sculptures" make each performance unique.

In offering a welcoming, caring, and compassionate environment, UMD aims to affirm the dignity of guests, volunteers, and staff.
