 KATE CAMPBELL PERFORMS
UMD BENEFIT CONCERT
APRIL 18,
Parish Hall, St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Durham
Join acclaimed singer/songwriter Kate Campbell in a benefit performance for Urban Ministries of Durham, Friday, April 18, at 7 PM in the Parish Hall of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, 408 East Main in Street, in downtown Durham.
With a background steeped in the southern condition (from sweet tea to Moonpies to civil rights, Elvis and the church), Kate Campbell's songs illuminate and inspire. Whether celebrating the eccentric, damning the damaging sins of our forebears, striving for something better, Campbell's winsome ways with word and tunes leave an impact long after her last chord fades. If you were raised in the South, Kate's songs resonate with a raw truthfulness. If you're a transplant, her songs and stories welcome with open arms. Her shows are the musical embodiment of authentic southern hospitality.
 Originally from Sledge, MS, the daughter of a Baptist preacher, Kate's formative years were forged by the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and those indelible experiences continue to inform her music. Her eloquent gift for storytelling draws repeated comparisons to such southern writers such as Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, and William Faulkner. NPR's Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Car Talk, and Mountain Stage often feature Kate's music. She performs around the country and abroad, including such prestigious festivals as the Cambridge Folk Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Philadelphia Folk Festival and Merlefest. In an especially unique collaboration, Ballet Memphis featured songs from several of Kate's albums in a ballet based on her music entitled South Of Everywhere.
