Joan Osborne returns with her music
Joan Osborne
Joan Osborne has come a long way since her hit song “One of Us”, but she hasn’t lost that soulful sound that first won her the adoration of audiences everywhere. When last here she performed to a sold out crowd, so if you missed her then, you can catch her now on Saturday, September 27th at 8pm at the Ridgefield Playhouse for Movies and The Performing Arts. This show is part of the Doyle Coffin Architecture Singer Songwriter series.

On her latest album,” Breakfast in Bed,” Osborne got the chance to make her very own mix, a collection of soul classics and new songs she wrote to fit in seamlessly alongside them. “I love this music and these songs,” Osborne explains wistfully. “When I first started singing with any kind of seriousness, I was involved with the roots music scene in NYC and got a real education in soul, rhythm and blues. Etta James, Howlin’ Wolf … it was the same for me back then as it is now. I try to emulate the emotional rawness of their music and wanted to revisit the simplicity of the lyrics and direct style of songwriting.”

For tickets ($70 gold circle; $60) and further information about The Playhouse, call the box office at 203-438-5795; tickets may also be purchased online at www.ridgefieldplayhouse.org. The Playhouse is located at 80 East Ridge, parallel to Main Street.
