About this Event
Hope Levy is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, actress, and creator of the award-winning musical true story "The Connie Converse Universe – Searching for the "Amelia Earhart of Folk Music."
"The Connie Converse Universe" is a 75–85 minute live acoustic musical true story that blends music, storytelling, and history to explore the life and mysterious disappearance of pioneering 1950s singer-songwriter Connie Converse — an extraordinary artist whose music was largely unheard during her lifetime before being rediscovered decades after she vanished in 1974.
This will irrefutably be a uniquely mesmerizing evening under the redwoods!
$10-20 suggested donation; doors at 7, show at 7:30.
