SUMMARY:LVDY concert: Winona Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:Saturday  November 1\nConcert at 7:00 and gallery & coffeehouse open at 6:00\n$20/adv and $25/door\nContact:   debiniebuhr@gmail.com \nThe Winona Arts Center (228 E 5th St) is very excited to host the two lovely women from Colorado who are LVDY on November 1 \nTickets available at Eventbrite and Music Mart \, who now accept cash\, checks and credit cards without fees. There is a cash bar for wine and beer. \n“With roots in singer-songwriter\, indie-folk and a sound shaped by soaring harmonies and organic instrumentation\, LVDY crafts songs that feel like home. Their uplifting sound and intimate storytelling weave love anthems in and out of their messages\, with simple yet important reminders that we’re not alone.”  For the members of LVDY\, the music is more than a job; it’s what intertwines their heart and souls\, and it’s how they share their most intense joys and deepest feelings with others.   Mable describes writing music as “an invitation to show up as you are\,” and performing like “cracking people open.” Accordingly\, the two friends don’t hold back their feelings\, bite their tongues or mask any part of their identity. Music allows them to be unapologetically themselves.

There will be a cash bar for wine & beer. Tickets are $15/advance without fees at Music Mart  (115 E 3rd St) & Eventbrite and $20/door.  This Wisconsin’s American Roots duo\, The DitchLilies\, have been in musical cahoots since 1998. Kari Larson and Lisa Schultz are stringed multi-instrumentalists/vocalists with a soft spot and keen enthusiasm for early swing\, old-time mountain music and juke joint songs of the Golden Era.
