2nd SHIFT Concert: Dori Freeman

Dori Freeman first broke out in 2016, with a stunning debut produced by Teddy Thompson and a sparkling voice that seemed to come from out of nowhere. In fact, that unadorned and honest voice comes from Galax, Virginia, and is infused with the same sort of clear-eyed, fierce independence that is the trademark of her Appalachian home.
Freeman’s 2019 release Every Single Star, was stuck on repeat in our curator Mark Erelli’s stereo that year, and he made it his mission to present her music in the 2nd Shift Series. Though the pandemic had other plans and we had to cancel Freeman’s original show, we are so grateful for the second chance to bring her back in support of her most recent album Ten Thousand Roses.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come out to the show and marvel at the incisive insight and bruised romanticism of her instantly memorable songs
