Caffé Lena, Saratoga Springs

Peggy Lecuyer & Kevin Maul of the Nellies, along with John Kirk & Trish Miller, Linda Schrade & Dave Kiphuth, and Johnny & Annie Rosen will be playing a series of duets at Caffe Lena. The night will be a tribute to Hazel Dickens, who was a singer/songwriter who broke ground on the male-dominated bluegrass circuit and inspired early '60s feminists by writing from a woman's point of view as an advocate for coal miners and working people. She served as a role model for younger female country artists such as Naomi Judd, Emmylou Harris and Allison Krauss. As the eighth child of eleven, who grew up in a three-room shack in West Virginia mining country, she was steadfast voice for her people and often sang at union rallies and benefits for mineworkers.
