Folk artist Chris Pureka who hails from Portland, Oregon will perform at St George's Hall in Bewdley on September 29.

At 16, writing songs became a way of journaling. “I was shy and introverted, and songwriting was a very personal process. I never had any intention of performing,” she shares on her website.

Sine then she's released seven albums and shared the stage with such diverse and esteemed artists as Dar Williams, The Lumineers, The Cowboy Junkies, Gregory Alan Isakov, Martin Sexton, and Ani DiFranco.

Her latest album, Back in the Ring, is Chris’s first studio full length since 2010’s critically acclaimed How I Learned to See in the Dark.

She will be supported on the night by young musician Esther Turner.

Tickets for the 7.30pm show cost £10 and are available by calling 01299 400110 or visiting www.thehall-bewdley.org.uk
